TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in enterprise data, empowers its customers to connect, unify, and confidently predict business outcomes, solving the world’s most complex data-driven challenges. Today, TIBCO announced it has further enhanced the metadata capabilities of TIBCO’s Unify offerings, helping clients improve their data literacy, with the full integration of its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) TIBCO Cloud™ Metadata offering. With this evolution, TIBCO adds functionality to its Unify solutions to assist customers in embracing a data-driven approach where they can enhance the collection, synthesis, management, and governance of data.
