PALO ALTO, CA, Oct. 7, 2009 (Marketwire) --

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/07/09 -- TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced the general availability of TIBCO iProcess(TM) Spotfire®, a solution that adds a rich layer of next generation business intelligence (BI) to business process management (BPM). With iProcess(TM) Spotfire®, business users have the unique ability to create personalized, real-time process reports, and analyze and modify processes in the context of the business for immediate, positive impacts on business performance.

When enterprises leverage BPM software to model and automate core business processes, they need to be able to monitor and continuously improve those processes. Traditional BPM reporting tools provide a "one size fits all" dashboard that fails to take into account the needs of different users. Competitive pressures, combined with user expectations for real-time information, require faster access to the right information.

Targeted at all levels of business users -- from the professionals, who need to understand the operational aspects of the process performance, to business analysts and managers who need to analyze and dive deep into the data, or executives who need to see the "big picture" -- the solution features:

--  Personalized process reporting and analytics: Rather than using static
    dashboards to display business processes, iProcess Spotfire uses customized
    templates to display reports and analyses that have been tailored for each
    specific user. These personalized interfaces empower users to make better,
    faster decisions.

--  Contextualized process performance: Users are able to extract process
    performance data generated by the BPM and combine it with business data
    from other applications. This allows users to place the process performance
    in its full business context, whereas traditional BPM reporting only
    reports on the process performance data generated by the BPM.

--  Self-service: Instead of relying on IT to create custom reports,
    iProcess Spotfire enables business users to customize their own reports and
    analyze the metrics themselves.
