Some of the inclusion criteria for vendors in the Magic Quadrant include substantially supporting comprehensive, general-purpose B2B functionality and having a significant impact on the B2B gateway software market. Companies were evaluated on completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Says Marco Gerazounis, TIBCO MD, Middle East and Africa (MEA): "We are distinctively placed with B2B Gateway software as component of a complete solution that enables companies to realise their SOA projects. We believe our continued commitment to this market keeps TIBCO BusinessConnect a market leader."

BusinessConnect provides an external gateway to centrally manage and secure the exchange of documents across multiple trading partners of all sizes. Built on the TIBCO ActiveMartix BusinessWorks platform, BusinessConnect seamlessly integrates partner processes with internal systems for an end-to-end business process flow. BusinessConnect provides intuitive browser-based tools for configuring and managing partner relationships with little to no IT support.
