Through a three-year collaboration agreement, the companies plan to support high-volume online transactions and to enhance the performance, reliability and advanced middleware needs of global customers.
The alliance will leverage HP OpenView management solutions to integrate TIBCO Software’s real-time e-business infrastructure software with the HP Netaction Internet operating environment to help customers implement reliable, secure, scalable and manageable e-business solutions.
TIBCO’s integration, B2B and XML solutions enable customers’ disparate applications to interact in real time. In addition to the collaboration that will use HP’s process management technology and application development toolset, the HP Middleware Division will lead HP’s joint development activities using standards such as J2EE and XML technologies that will complement the current TIBCO products, providing a development pathway for future jointly developed products and services.
This agreement is an important step in HP’s software strategy, said Bill Russell, vice president, HP Software Solutions Organization. TIBCO is a leader in business integration software and this agreement builds on HP and TIBCO’s shared vision of the evolution of e-business technologies, our joint development plans and our collaborative market strategies.
The old model of business was standalone, but today’s model is collaborative, said Vivek Ranadive, chairman and CEO, TIBCO Software. This agreement shows the commitment of TIBCO and HP to bring industry-leading solutions to the telecommunications marketplace.
In addition to the joint development work, HP Consulting will recommend TIBCO as a preferred integration solution vendor for the service provider and telecommunications markets. HP and TIBCO are currently working together with joint customers, and jointly developed software products are expected to be available to the marketplace within one year.
