Websense Uses TIBCO's Software to Reduce Application Maintenance and Integration Time by 50 Percent
Infrastructure Software Helps Improve IT ROI and Data Integrity
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - September 28, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today
announced that Websense Inc., a global leader in integrated Web, data and
email security solutions, has leveraged TIBCO's infrastructure solutions to
successfully integrate major disparate IT systems and enabled Websense® to
begin the establishment of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
environment, improving IT's ability to deliver functionality and capability
to the business.
"We acquired a company roughly our same size, and within eight months moved
both companies' major business systems to a single set of applications that
are integrated via TIBCO," said Jim Haskin, SVP of marketing and chief
information officer for Websense. "The TIBCO platform enables us to
maximize re-use and to rapidly share and integrate data and systems."
TIBCO's solution for Websense is based on a messaging platform that allows
for various benefits such as a single view of customer data, a direct
connection to business partners and real-time updates of information that
is both consistent and accurate. The company's newly integrated systems
have reduced system complexity and IT time spent maintaining applications
and interfaces from 70 percent to 20 percent.
"Websense's use of TIBCO's software is a great example of how companies can
take advantage of its power and flexibility to integrate disparate systems
and data," said Robin Gilthorpe, senior vice president, Americas, TIBCO.
"Now, with a common and connected data architecture, Websense has built the
foundation for an SOA environment, allowing the company to deliver new
systems and functions more quickly with less maintenance overhead."
