Kaazing and TIBCO Unveil “Modern Architecture for the Mobile Enterprise” CIO Global Speaker Series 2013

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kaazing, pioneers of HTML5 WebSocket and the leading live web and mobile communication platform, today announced their partnership with TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) to offer the first-ever CIO Global Speaker Series for 2013 entitled “Modern Architecture for the Mobile Enterprise.”

From March 19 through to the end of 2013, Kaazing and TIBCO will host two global webinars and events in California, New York, London, and Paris. Featured speakers include:

• Jeffrey S. Hammond: Forrester Research VP and Principal Analyst; “Top Industry Analyst,” according to the Institute of Industry Analyst Relations; Expert in open source, next-gen mobile, and client architectures.
• John R. Rymer: Forrester Research VP and Principal Analyst; Enterprise middleware and cloud platform expert.
• Larry McQueary: Director of Business Development, Messaging at TIBCO; Global enterprise middleware and integration expert.

Industry experts agree that IT leaders must make significant strategic and investment shifts during the next few years to properly prepare their enterprise for the convergence of mobile, social, cloud, and big data.

In a Forrester Research report published in May 2012, “Define A Road Map For Mobile Security And Operations,” the authors wrote, "Many enterprises are considering developing HTML5 applications, but operating HTML5 applications may require I&O pros to upgrade the infrastructure to support the new websocket communication."

“As founders and pioneers of the HTML5 WebSocket standard, Kaazing has worked to migrate many global customers from slow, static server-side architectures to a modern architecture that can enable massively scalable, real-time data and communication solutions,” said John Donnelly III, Executive Vice President, Kaazing. “We are pleased to be working with TIBCO and top industry analysts like Jeffrey and John to help deliver this message to innovative, customer-focused enterprises.”

“Modern Architecture for the Mobile Enterprise” will give CEOs and CIOs an opportunity to learn from industry experts about why companies need to reinvent their architecture to be user-focused in the new “always on, web connected” enterprise. Event topics will include global IT trends, priorities, and budget allocations in key areas of middleware, applications, web and mobile investments, as well as next generation architectures that enable the “connected enterprise.”

“TIBCO Web Messaging powered by Kaazing is at the forefront of this new modern architecture,” said Tom Laffey, Executive Vice President for Products and Technology at TIBCO. “Our enterprise customers want to extend their data to the web and mobile, but in a highly scalable, secure and cost-effective method. Importantly, we see our clients requesting easy integration and the ability to rapidly deploy these new web and mobile architectures. Our CIO series is designed to help enterprises prepare for that investment and organizational shift, and we welcome CIO contemporaries to attend these events.”

Analysts forecast that mobile phones will overtake the PC as the most common web access device worldwide in 2013. Businesses need the capacity to rapidly build and deploy mobile applications that can reach the maximum number of users at the lowest possible cost, while delivering a real-time experience that is fast, consistent, and secure, regardless of a user’s network, location, or choice of mobile device.

“With more than 1 billion smartphones worldwide, and tablets numbering in the hundreds of millions, the scope of the mobile revolution rivals that of the move from monolithic systems to client/server computing in the 1990s,” wrote Jeffrey Hammond in a Forrester Research report, “The Future Of Mobile Application Development,” that he co-authored in January 2013. “As in that period, we're now seeing massive changes to application architecture as companies modernize the way they build applications. Modern applications require multichannel clients, elastic infrastructure, and elastic licensing; they're composed of multiple service endpoints that are provisioned by developers with direct customer feedback on their convenience.”

By attending one of TIBCO & Kaazing’s “Modern Architecture for the Mobile Enterprise” events, enterprises will learn from experts in the industry on the technical impact modern applications will place on businesses, and what enterprises can do to prepare for a new generation of contextual systems that improve customer engagement and employee productivity by integrating systems of engagement, record, and operation.
