The new version offers industry-first cross-catalog relationship capabilities for greater visibility across your business by turning raw data into actionable insight, and embedded distributed caching features for high-performance data throughput. Today’s announcement builds on the company’s commitment to helping customers realize the full benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) using an integrated data services platform.

TIBCO Collaborative Information Manager provides a comprehensive approach to managing and synchronizing information across the value chain.

As a collaborative user-friendly application TIBCO Collaborative Information Manager empowers business users to maintain and manage the information critical to their functions.
