HOUSTON, TX–(Marketwired – Sep 7, 2016) – TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in integration and analytics, today announced the kickoff of its 14^th annual TIBCO® Energy Forum, held at the Omni Houston Hotel through September 8. At the event, professionals and business leaders from the energy industry will come together to share their experiences and best practices for analytics implementations, and discuss the latest market innovations and trends.

“Analytics play a major role in the energy industry, increasing efficiencies, uncovering insights, and aiding businesses in achieving competitive advantages,” said Thomas Been, chief marketing officer, TIBCO. “At TIBCO, we’re helping companies augment intelligence and interconnect everything for a more comprehensive analytics experience. This year’s TIBCO Energy Forum illustrates how our solutions enable businesses to elevate their business intelligence for deeper discovery and more actionable insights.
