TIBCO Spotfire - more analytics than BI
Posted by Paul Vincent
Although several folks in TIBCO had used the term “visual analytics” to try and describe what TIBCO Spotfire does, as opposed to merely reporting on views of data, the analysts have continued to position Spotfire as a “BI” tool. But now, the Spotfire marketing folk are starting to use the term “Spotfire Analytics” to better describe the positioning of the product, especially with the combination of S+ and Miner predictive analytics capabilities.
How does this affect TIBCO Complex Event Processing users? Not one jot, of course. Spotfire remains the preferred analytic tool for visualising the event data in a TIBCO BusinessEvents backing store (a.k.a. the “event warehouse”) and comparing that data with other sources. Using Spotfire you can identify new patterns that can then be used to update rules, queries and decisions in a TIBCO BusinessEvents application - or indeed, execute an S+ or Miner analytics model against the incoming events in either a regular, or special purpose, event processing agent.
