CGI and TIBCO Plan to Extend Collaboration

CGI Group (News - Alert), Inc., a leading provider of information technology and business process services and TIBCO Software Inc., are pondering upon extending their collaboration.

Officials from both the companies believe that it is the right time to broaden their business model and strive hard to expand their market across North America and Europe.

TIBCO and CGI want to help improve the reliability and quality of connecting, automating, optimizing and scaling processes, applications and data in real-time.

“We are in an excellent position to benefit from three key trends in enterprise IT this year: mobility, cloud computing and real-time information,” said Vivek Ranadivé, chairman and CEO of TIBCO Software Inc., in a statement. “By partnering with an industry leader such as CGI, we can broaden our business model and help customers globally leverage our event-driven solutions to transform their enterprise and build 21st century applications.” 

“For over 35 years, CGI has operated upon the principles of sharing in clients' challenges and delivering high quality services supported by the best technology,” commented Michael E. Roach, president and chief executive officer of CGI. “In working with a leader like TIBCO, we are deepening our commitment to putting clients and their results first by enhancing the tools and services they need to achieve superior performance and gain a competitive advantage. We look forward to winning and growing together.”

In other news from July 2010, TIBCO Software Inc. announced the general availability of TIBCO Silver Spotfire – a fully functional on-demand offering designed to enable anyone to create, publish and share custom dashboards or reports for business analytics and business intelligence (BI) in the cloud.

TIBCO is the first provider to truly make good on making BI and analytics available to anyone. Unlike other BI offerings, TIBCO Silver Spotfire enables visual analytics and remarkably interactive dashboards to be created and published to the cloud in minutes without requiring time consuming setup or infrastructure.
