Bayer. GUVV Uses TIBCO Software to Support Greater Business Flexibility
New SOA Infrastructure to Enable Cross-System Information Exchange and Better Reuse of Existing Information Technology (IT) Investments

MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwire - November 3, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) today
announced that the Bavarian Municipal Accident Insurance Association
(Bayer. GUVV) will use TIBCO's infrastructure software to easily connect
its existing disparate IT systems for improved data exchange and to
increase support and flexibility for reconfiguring back office business
processes.
"Forging a SOA strategy is key to sustainable business agility," said
Jürgen Renfer, head of IT at Bayer. GUVV. "The role of IT systems is to
provide unparalleled support for key businesses processes through
simplicity and robustness, eliminating unnecessary complexity. Our SOA
project sprang forth from this very consideration," Renfer continued. "We
chose TIBCO's solutions because they are vendor neutral and supported by an
extremely large number of adapters, far more than in any other company."
Disparate systems are typically unable to communicate and exchange
information with one another, making it nearly impossible to access
customer data when and wherever it is needed most. Leveraging TIBCO's
service oriented architecture (SOA) approach will enable Bayer. GUVV to
increase process productivity through instant online access to accident
processing and member contribution management data, which has been
traditionally transferred through its various core systems via an overnight
batch process. The option of transferring data records between both systems
will also be made available without delay which has not been previously
possible.
"The SOA project with Bayer. GUVV is a great example of the commitment to
innovation in the public sector," said Fabio Pulidori, senior vice
president, EMEA Field Operations, TIBCO. "Flexible interconnections between
systems and applications with a view to delivering joint use of data and
functions are at the heart of SOA creating numerous opportunities for
process optimization. TIBCO is committed to helping customers achieve this
vision using our solutions."
The Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University will be following the
progress of the SOA implementation from an academic perspective featuring
it as the subject of a future thesis. The University will determine the
economic efficiency of the project, as well as produce viable scenarios for
future process optimizations based on TIBCO's SOA approach.
