TweetThe session that I’ve been waiting all day for is with Roger King, who runs BPM product management and strategy for TIBCO, where he discussed the new ActiveMatrix BPM and TIBCOSilver BPM offerings for on-premise and cloud deployments. They’ve been working on this for a couple of years, and obviously keen to get it out [...]
Also taggedTweetWe’re overtime on the general session, 2.75 hours without a break, and Matt Quinn is up to talk about the TIBCO product stack and some of the recent releases as well as upcoming releases: Spotfire 3.1 BusinessEvents 4.0, with an improved Eclipse-based development environment including a rule debugger, and a multi-threaded engine BEViews (BusinessEvents Views) [...]
Also taggedTweetWe had a brief comment from Tom Laffey in the general session about TIBCO’s new ultra low latency messaging platform to be released by year end, which breaks the microsecond barrier. They’re calling it FTL, which makes my inner (or not so inner) geek giggle with happiness: for sci-fi fans, that’s the acronym for “Faster [...]
Also taggedTweetThe third keynote speaker this morning was Wolfgang Gaertner, CIO of Deutsche Bank: we’ve moved from international crime-fighting to the somewhat more mundane – but every bit as international and essential – world of banking. Their biggest challenge over the past few years has been to reduce the paper flow that was slowing the communication [...]
Also taggedTweetThe special guest speaker at this morning’s keynote was Ronald Noble, Secretary General of INTERPOL, speaking about why speed matters in law enforcement, and using technology to stay a step ahead of the criminals. He engaged the crowd with very funny and completely deadpan humor, but addressed the very serious topic of how the expedient [...]
Also taggedTweetWe’re done with the analyst day (although I swear that my handler had me RFID-chipped, since she found me with no problem in the large auditorium at the keynote this morning ), and on to the general conference. TIBCO skipped their user conference last year, as did many other technology companies, and there are some [...]
Also taggedTweetTom Laffey, EVP of Products and Technology, gave us an update at the analyst session yesterday on their new product releases (embargoed until today), but started with an interesting timeline of the their acquisitions. Unlike some companies, who make acquisitions just to remove a competitor from the market, TIBCO appears to have made some thoughtful [...]

Also taggedTweetFollowing the product update (which is embargoed until tomorrow), Ram Menon was up to talk about their go-to-market strategy. TIBCO has really been known as a powerhouse in the financial services in the past, but given the meltdown in the financial markets over the past two years, they’ve probably realized that this former cash cow [...]
Also taggedTweetMurray Rode, TIBCO’s COO, started the TIBCO analyst day with their vision and strategy. The vision: Enterprise 3.0. Srsly. They seem to have co-opted the Enterprise 1.0/2.0 terms to mean what they want it to mean rather than the more accepted views: they define Enterprise 2.0, for example, as everything from the 80’s to 2009, [...]
Also taggedTweetThe last session of the day — and likely the last one of the conference for me, since I think that the engineering roundtables tomorrow morning are targeted at customers — was Enrique Goizueta of TIBCO discussing a "Lego approach" to creating business processes: dynamic BPM using the iProcess Conductor. Bruce Silver raved about the [...]

They started out looking at BPM because of the multiple redundant systems and applications that they have, which is endemic in insurance: multiple ratings engines, multiple policy systems and multiple claims [...]

I hadn’t seen Spotfire in any detail before the demo that I saw on Tuesday, and it’s a very impressive visualization and analysis tool; today, they showed iProcess process runtime data copied [...]

He was joined briefly by a member of the team who also happens to hold a Ph.D. in biology; like any geeky engineer, Laffey giggled nervously in the presence of an [...]
Also tagged simon post, tom laffeyTweetThe last session of the day was a bit of a tough choice: I was thinking about heading over to see the session on in-process analytics through the integration of Spotfire and BusinessEvents, but decided in favor of hearing Richard Frost of HBOS (a UK-based financial services organization) discuss their centralized BPM platform and center [...]

Matt Quinn, TIBCO’s SVP of engineering and technology strategies, discussed [...]

I usually have a hard-and-fast rule about not blogging anything that happens when I have a drink in my hand, but I want to shout out to Heidi Bartlett for organizing the analyst summit yesterday and arranging for an amazing [...]
