PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in enterprise data, empowers its customers to connect, unify, and confidently predict business outcomes, solving the world’s most complex data-driven challenges. Today, TIBCO announced it was named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Master Data Management, Q4 2021 report, receiving the highest possible scores in 9 out of 24 evaluation criteria, including compliance, business templates, scalability, multidomain, and technical support.

“Innovation in the master data, metadata, and reference data management markets is exploding. Cloud migration, new sources of real-time data, and AI-created synthetic data makes managing enterprise data a bigger challenge than ever,” said Mark Palmer, senior vice president, engineering, TIBCO. “TIBCO EBX is part of our agile data fabric blueprint, providing an automated, easy-to-navigate, scalable, and accessible platform to everyone, any system, on any cloud platform.”

TIBCO defines “master data” as a single record of each person, place, or thing in a business, which must be reconciled, enriched, and corrected to become a trusted view of shared, business-critical data. Effective MDM promotes more accurate reporting, eliminating errors caused by bad data and enabling anyone to make better business decisions based on trusted data.

According to the Forrester report, “TIBCO Software is a long-time provider of MDM, and its purchase of Orchestra Networks made its platform feature-rich to support multiple domains. EBX is an all-in-one software solution to model, manage and govern enterprise shared assets. It is a multi-domain MDM, reference data management, and metadata management platform. TIBCO provides modeling, integration, data quality, and process-based collaboration. Key capabilities include REST APIs, built-in graph modeling, container support, and advanced authentication. TIBCO’s strategy focuses on a higher degree of automation through AI/ML, simplified implementation, and extending its end-to-end MDM platform to accelerate use cases.”

TIBCO’s recognition as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Master Data Management, Q4 2021 follows a growing list of 18 acknowledgments as a leader from recognized analyst firms and peer review sites, positioning the company as a leader in data management, analytics, integration, and the cloud.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
