TIBCO Software Announces Support for Software AG Database Technologies
Hannover, Germany, March 21, 2001 - TIBCO Software™ Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX), a leading provider of real-time infrastructure software for e-business, announced today at CeBIT 2001 that it has expanded its database support to include Software AG's database technologies. Software AG's database platform is being supported by the TIBCO Extensibility product line's XML Canon/Developer™ 1.0 (XCD), a design-time repository for XML assets, such as schemas, DTDs, and instance documents. The additional database support enables a new audience of Software AG customers to leverage XML and XCD for e-business and reducing costs.
XCD enables organizations to access, integrate, and reuse the vocabulary from schemas or DTDs in any XML-based application, such as CommerceOne, WebMethods, or Microsoft solutions. XCD introduces 'logical schema analysis,' a breakthrough approach for obtaining XML vocabularies and grammars, which can then be accessed and re-purposed with new semantic meaning. The addition of Software AG's database technology expands the number of database platforms supported by XCD.
"We're excited to extend our relationship with Software AG by supporting their technology," said Reid Conrad, vice president of TIBCO Software. "Our continued alliance provides companies unparalleled control of their XML vocabularies giving them adaptability and scalability as e-business continues to grow."
"Our customers will be able to further leverage their XML-enabled information using XML Canon/Developer tied to their existing databases," said Schalk Viljoen, vice president of product marketing for Software AG. "Software AG is committed to being the premier XML company and leveraging best-of-breed technology from TIBCO helps keep us there."
