PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) today
announced that it received a Stevie Award for Best House Organ/Publication
in the Corporate Literature category at The 2009 American Business Awards.
The company's winning publication, NOW Magazine, provides IT professionals
worldwide with an informative and entertaining vehicle to develop
independent thought leadership without corporate spin.
NOW Magazine was conceived two years ago as an in-house thought leadership
magazine and is now available in 5 languages. It is designed to distribute
the knowledge of innovators chronicling cutting-edge technology development
from visionaries who are creating the future. NOW is distributed quarterly
to leading technology thinkers, TIBCO customers, employees and partners in
the Americas, Europe and Asia.
The awards were presented during ceremonies at the Marriott Marquis Hotel
in New York City. The ceremonies were hosted by Cheryl Casone of Fox
Business Network and broadcast nationwide on radio by the Business
TalkRadio Network.
"We are honored that NOW Magazine has been recognized with a Stevie Award,"
said Ram Menon, executive vice president, worldwide marketing at TIBCO and
publisher of NOW Magazine. "The publication has successfully created a new
dialogue around key enterprise technologies and everyday challenges faced
by IT users. We look forward to continuing to change the way professionals
think about and implement business strategies."
Stevie Awards were presented in over 40 categories ranging from Best
Overall Company of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the
Year to best Marketing/Sales Brochure. This year, more than 2,600 entries
from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted
for consideration. TIBCO's NOW magazine was judged the best in-house
corporate publication, beating out larger in-house magazines from Daimler
Financial Services and KPMG.
"One of the top challenges for leading companies is to emerge from tough
times with closer connections to their customers," said Michael Gallagher,
president of The Stevie Awards. "NOW magazine has shown leadership in
articulating and presenting technology innovation to its readers and we
congratulate TIBCO on winning its second Stevie award."
More than 200 executives across the country participated in the judging
process to determine the Finalists and Stevie Award winners.
