Tibco Software Inc
A maker of integration and analytics software, TIBCO helps big companies connect their many computer systems, move data in real time, and automate workflows. Its roots trace to "The Information Bus," a technology founder Vivek Ranadivé built on Wall Street, where the company's name comes from (TIBCO = "The Information Bus Company"). Born in 1997 after Ranadivé's earlier firm, Teknekron, was bought by Reuters, TIBCO still powers trading floors and data-driven industries today.
