We’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) for creating real-time customizable dashboards for monitoring the high-speed events (as opposed to Spotfire, which can include data from a much broader context)
- ActiveSpaces Suite for in-memory processing, grid computing and events, with the new AS Transactions and AS Patterns components
- Silver Suite for cloud deployment, including Fabric, Grid and CAP (Composite Application Platform)
- PeopleForms, which I saw a brief view of yesterday: a lightweight, forms-based application development environment
- tibbr, their social microblogging platform; I think that they’re pushing too much of the social aspect here, when I think that their sweet spot is in being able to “follow” and receive messages/events from devices rather than people
- Silver Analytics
- ActiveMatrix 3.0, which is an expansion of the lightweight application development platform to make this more of an enterprise-ready
- ActiveMatrix BPM, which he called “the next generation of BPM within TIBCO” – I’ll have more on this after an in-depth briefing
- Silver BPM, the cloud-deployable version of BPM
- Design Collaborator, which is a web-based design discovery tool that will be available in 2011: this appears to be their version of an online process discovery tool, although with more of a services focus than just processes; seems late to be introducing this functionality to the market
I heard much of this yesterday from Tom Laffey during the analyst session, but this was a good refresher since it’s a pretty big set of updates.
