TIBCO Affirms Commitment to Driving Innovation and Growth in China With Strategic Initiatives

September 11, 2007

    PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 11 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) today announced several
projects intended to help foster innovation and growth in
Beijing and across Greater China. TIBCO reinforces its
commitment to the region with the launch of a China
Development Center as part of a strategic partnership with
Worksoft and an educational program dubbed -- The Power of
You -- which invites students and professionals to take
part in a developer contest to build web applications using
Ajax and service-oriented architecture principles. 

    "Our partnership with TIBCO has grown considerably
during the past twenty four months and we are very excited
about the prospect of new opportunities that the China
Development Center and Ajax competition will generate among
businesses and students," said Junbo Liu, executive
vice president, Worksoft. "These ambitious initiatives
are perfect examples of how two industry leaders can join
together to nurture local talent and generate organic
growth through increased awareness and delivery of
innovative SOA, BPM and business optimization
solutions."

    TIBCO's China Development Center, operated jointly by
Worksoft, is involved with the design, development,
testing, and ongoing support of many of the company's
portfolio of products across service-oriented architecture
(SOA) and business process management (BPM) and business
optimization. Collaborating together to create and deploy
innovative software solutions, TIBCO and Worksoft will help
customers achieve SOA and BPM success. 

    In addition to supporting the establishment of the
regional Ajax challenge across China, TIBCO will work
closely with Worksoft and leading educational institutions
to encourage students to create Ajax-based, feature-rich
applications using publicly available web services. As they
work on their projects, participants will cultivate advanced
development skills to help better prepare them for jobs in
the information technology and business consulting
industries. 

    TIBCO executive vice president, Ram Menon, who is
visiting China this week, commented: "We are committed
to increasing our investments in high-growth countries and
China represents an important market for TIBCO long-term.
Furthermore, working closely with key partners such as
Worksoft on these important initiatives will help better
prepare students to compete in a technology-driven
workplace and also ensure customers and prospects obtain
the maximum benefit from their IT investments."

    TIBCO's ongoing investments in China and Asia Pacific
represent an integral part of company's strategic
operations to increase its presence globally. Currently,
TIBCO customers in China represent top industry leaders
across telecommunications, financial services and
manufacturing such as Bohai Bank and China Post.
