Central theme is Analytics

To meet growing customer and market demand for analytics, TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) will feature an exceptional array of analytics-focused keynotes, customer case studies and conference sessions at TUCON®, the company’s annual customer and business partner conference. Taking place September 26-29, 2011 at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV, the event will explore the possibilities to be realized when information reaches where it is needed, when it is needed most – and within the right context.

As part of this year’s focus, analytics will take center stage at TUCON with customer keynotes, “big ideas” industry thought-leadership sessions, real-world usage tracks, case studies and commentary from industry luminaries.
