TIBCO Software Announces Stonebridge Technologies Has Joined Exclusive List of Consulting Firms Delivering TIBCO Infrastructure Solutions

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 03, 2001 - TIBCO Software™ Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX), a leading provider of real–time infrastructure software for e–business, announced today that Stonebridge Technologies, a leading enterprise integration and consulting company serving the South Central, Southeast and Mid–Atlantic United States, has joined the TIBCO Alliance Partner (TAP) program. With the alliance, the companies are planning to pursue joint engagements targeting the energy, communications and healthcare vertical industries.

"Stonebridge has earned a reputation throughout its geographic footprint as a full–service consulting firm that delivers integrated technology solutions producing bottom–line results, and we are pleased to welcome them as a new TIBCO consulting partner," said Keith Goldstein, director of corporate alliances for TIBCO Software. "As deployment of industrial-strength infrastructure solutions continues to accelerate across all industries, our customers directly benefit from TIBCO partners such as Stonebridge that have the industry expertise, technical competence and vision required to create integrated, best–in–class solutions."

Stonebridge helps businesses more fully leverage Web–enabled technologies to build long-lasting and profitable relationships with customers; improve information flow throughout the enterprise; and drive operational efficiencies to maximize technology investments. The Dallas–based company, which operates exclusively in the South Central, Southeast and Mid–Atlantic regions, blends the depth of technology consulting experience of a Big Five firm with the agility and focus of a smaller firm.

As a TAP consulting partner, Stonebridge has demonstrated superior skill in developing and implementing real–time Web–based and enterprise infrastructure solutions based on the TIBCO ActiveEnterprise™ and TIBCO ActivePortal™ e–business application suites. Stonebridge has successfully deployed TIBCO enterprise integration solutions for multiple clients.

"Our TIBCO partnership is significant for two reasons," said Jim Sherriff, Stonebridge's chief executive officer. "First, helping our clients get a greater return from their technology investment is the fundamental objective for every Stonebridge engagement, and TIBCO tools enable our consultants to develop business solutions that extend clients' existing infrastructure and take total advantage of new Web-enabled applications. Second, more than two–thirds of our business is derived from the vertical industries both companies are focused on, so our alliance offers tremendous opportunities for continued growth."

Stonebridge's end-to-end solutions are built on the "Three I's": Infrastructure, Information and Interaction. The Three I's form the essential technology building blocks driving the online user experience. Infrastructure includes enterprise servers, data storage, network management and security; Information includes integrating various data sources as well as new technology solutions with legacy business applications; and Interaction comprises client solutions with branding, navigation, complex interaction and e-marketing elements.

According to the leading industry analyst firm Gartner Group, TIBCO is one of the leading integration tools providers. Such recognition stems from TIBCO's high-profile customers including AT&T, Chevron, Cisco Systems, Hitachi, Seagate and Yahoo! TIBCO's network of partners comprises leading consulting, hardware and software companies.
