Regular readers will know that I have a soft spot for TIBCO that stretches back over many years. As you read this, remember my bias.
SAP and Oracle are at each other's throats. It's a titillating side show that side steps some of the realities - at least for SAP.
In the world of large enterprise, complexity is the norm. TIBCO is trying to make complexity look cool but in doing so it needs to re-engineer itself as a more marketing led organization. Vivek Ranadivé, the company's CEO talks to those issues.
Next week I will attend TUCON, TIBCO's annual customer event. It is some time since I attended this event but I have fond memories of Vivek Ranadive, TIBCO's CEO doing a quiet 15 minute pitch and then getting out the way for a steady stream of unscripted customers.
Turning down an opportunity to attend Tibco Software's TUCON event in Las Vegas this week was hard enough, trying to get Microsoft Word to accept the word 'Evangelising' without using a Z was even harder. Regardless, I had a late briefing yesterday with Tibco's Ram Menon who is one of the company's executive VP men-of-the-moment when it comes to Enterprise 3.
At Tibco's user conference, leading organizations make the business case for real-time event processing.
TIBCO has its own take on micro blogging that concentrates on two dimensions: people and subjects but in the context of business processes. What does this mean and can it compete? Decide for yourself.
Now that SAP has acquired Sybase, should that be the end of its acquisition spending? I think not. I believe it has to acquire a middleware company but needs to make a careful choice. TIBCO seems the obvious candidate. You decide whether it makes sense.
SAP makes a land grab acquisition with Sybase at $5.8 billion. Does it make sense and if so how?
