TIBCO Announces Support for RosettaNet Ready™ Program
For Release
September 18, 2001
Palo Alto, CA --
In another move extending its leadership position in the integration industry, TIBCO Software
Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) today announced its support of a key industry initiative, the RosettaNet Ready™
Program, which enables TIBCO customers to more easily connect with their trading partners.
The RosettaNet Ready Program provides subscription-based products and services that companies
within the high technology supply chain need to measure their own readiness and compliance with
RosettaNet standards. The program speeds development and adoption of RosettaNet-enabled products by
delivering readiness and development tools, compliance testing and product benchmarking - driving
integration costs down and adoption rates up. The program fuels continued growth of an immense
RosettaNet trading network that encompasses both small and large and small enterprises.
"TIBCO is committed to supporting leading industry standards like RosettaNet. Through our
active participation in the consortium, we have seen incredible strides being made - the momentum
in the last six months alone has been astounding," said Fausto Ibarra, senior product line manager
for TIBCO Software. "We are confident that the newly launched RosettaNet Ready Program will help
speed implementation and adoption of RosettaNet e-business processes, and in turn, will benefit
TIBCO's customers who are active in the supply chain."
TIBCO, one of the first solution providers to support the RosettaNet Ready Program, will earn
Software Compliance Badges to certify its support for RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes™
(PIPs®) currently tested for in the program. To date, TIBCO customers have implemented more than 75
RosettaNet PIP deployments, including order management; inventory management, collaborative
forecasting, catalog distribution and design win management clusters. The instant recognition
realized through the software compliance program will help accelerate the growth of new PIP
deployments within a trading community.
TIBCO's support of the RosettaNet Ready Developer Tools Library through its wide network of
partners will enhance the company's full line of business-to-business integration solutions that
enable businesses of all sizes and in various industries to integrate with trading partners and
transact business over the Internet using standards such as RosettaNet, ebXML, EDI, BizTalk
Framework, SOAP, cXML, xCBL and CIDX.
"The RosettaNet Ready Program enables the independent development of interoperability
services by solution providers within the high tech industry," said Paul Tearnen, vice president of
standards management at RosettaNet. "By delivering standards readiness and compliance service
offerings, we can begin to reduce the time and costs associated with deployment of RosettaNet
standards within global trading partner networks."
