Successful Technology Implementation Delivers Up-to-the-Minute Access to Race Conditions, Track Courses and Runner Information for Improved Marketing and Customer Services
| Source: TIBCO Software Inc.
PARIS--(Marketwire - August 10, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) today announced
that Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU), responsible for designing, processing,
promoting and marketing off-track racehorse betting operations, has
successfully deployed TIBCO's integration and messaging software to scale
and manage event-driven distribution of information across its multiple
sales points (or betting shops) as part of its exchange platform project.
Leveraging TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™, TIBCO Enterprise Message
Service™ and TIBCO Substation ES™, PMU's new exchange platform
ensures the consistent, reliable, seamless delivery of information on race
conditions, track courses, runners and non-runners between the PMU website, Equidia television, the
racetracks, and its business-to-business partners. This updated environment
will integrate TIBCO technology with PMU's existing central information
system that is based on IBM mainframes, and third party "user" applications
and partner systems. Additionally, the new exchange platform replaces
legacy heterogeneous communication mechanisms for operations in real-time.
Christophe Leray, PMU's Chief Information Officer, said: "Access to
real-time information considerably improves the quality of services offered
to our customer base. Deploying TIBCO's software has optimized our
technology environment, while improving and reducing overall IT maintenance
costs."
The decision to implement TIBCO software was made after an intense review
and proof of concept proposal involving multiple software vendors. At the
end of the selection process, PMU concluded that TIBCO offered the most
comprehensive software solutions that met all of its technology
requirements.
"TIBCO successfully delivered on the bet made by PMU, implementing on
schedule in partnership with Capgemini," said Fabio Pulidori, senior vice
president, EMEA Field Operations, TIBCO. "Beginning Summer 2008, PMU has
benefitted from an open, scalable enterprise architecture that provides a
standardized interface and reliable information exchange."
