TIBCO Enterprise Message Service

Businesses today are increasingly dependent on a connected world and the real-time flow of information across systems to improve the way they do business. In response to the need for increased integration, IT organizations are adopting service-oriented architectures (SOA) that support web services and message-based technologies.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ is a standards-based enterprise messaging platform that brings together different IT assets and communications technologies on a common enterprise backbone to manage the real-time flow of information. It is the foundation of TIBCO's event-driven SOA that is deployed by thousands of TIBCO customers worldwide.
