TIBCO to Help Drive Adoption of BPM with Launch of Online User Community
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 16 -- TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ:TIBX), a leading business integration and process management software company that enables real-time business, today announced that it has delivered a comprehensive on-line community for business process management (BPM) to help non-technical users get started and get the most out of their BPM projects using TIBCO Business Studio(TM). Today's announcement represents TIBCO's continued commitment to helping customers use their business processes as a source of competitive advantage.
TIBCO launched a community that includes open forums, sample projects, tutorials, and documentation to help both business users and analysts with their process modeling and simulations. Forums monitored by TIBCO engineers, practitioners, and fellow users will provide a place for people to share information with one another and gather insight from others working on similar implementations. Video tutorials will also be available to help users get started, and tips will be available to address common problems and help guide users through to the solution -- from requirements gathering to modeling to simulation.
"Fostering an online active community for BPM users helps to accelerate time to market, while providing an opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with like-minded people," said Jeff Kristick, senior director, Product Marketing, TIBCO Software. "It also provides a risk-free way for users to learn from their peers, capitalize on best practices, and accelerate BPM adoption and innovation within their organizations."
TIBCO Business Studio version 1.1 is a unified business-oriented modeling environment based on Eclipse that allows business users to take ownership of their processes without a lot of technical know-how. The tool is easy to learn and master, helping to close the gap between business users and IT and giving them a more collaborative environment to properly manage business processes. Business users can now easily model, simulate, and manage business processes and services. In addition, because TIBCO Business Studio is standards compliant, with support for BPMN and XPDL, IT can easily implement the models business users create.
TIBCO Business Studio is now available to the public for free and may be downloaded via: www.tibco.com/devnet/business_studio/default.jsp .
