Sybase and Tibco Announce Real-Time Database Solutions for Rapid, Informed Business Decision-Making

SYBASE TECHWAVE USER CONFERENCE, ORLANDO, Fla. and PALO ALTO, Calif., - August 5, 2003 - Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), a leading enterprise infrastructure and integration company, and TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX), a leading enabler of real-time business, today announced an agreement to deliver Sybase Real-time Services, the first easy to use real-time information delivery solution built on open standards. Sybase Real-time Services will proactively push relevant information from a database, giving business decision makers the opportunity to quickly combat threats, capitalize on opportunities, and make better-informed decisions.

Sybase Real-time Services will leverage the database as an intelligent component in the enterprise, enabling it to deliver information in real-time when changes occur in the data itself. Business decisions can be triggered based on automatic notification of these changes, allowing customers to get up-to-the-minute information where it is needed, coordinate activities across the enterprise, and adapt to changes without delay or downtime. This powerful functionality will be both affordable and easy to deploy. Database administrators will be able to publish information immediately using a graphical point and click interface, with no proprietary interface or development kit required. Sybase Real-time Services is based on Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), the company's enterprise-class relational database management system (RDBMS) and TIBCO Enterprise for JMS, a standardized interface for communication between J2EE™-compliant applications, Enterprise Java Beans™ (EJB™) and application servers.
