Integration of TIBCO Enterprise(TM) for Java(TM) Messaging

Service Engine with Borland(R) Enterprise Server to Optimize

Performance in High-Volume Transactional Environments

Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq:BORL) and TIBCO Software Inc, (Nasdaq:TIBX), today announced a strategic relationship and global agreement to embed and distribute TIBCO Enterprise(TM) for Java(TM) Messaging Service (JMS) engine with Borland(R) Enterprise Server, Team Edition and future versions of Borland Enterprise Server.

It is all part of our ongoing commitment to ensure an outstanding customer experience," said Dale L. Fuller, president and CEO of Borland. "With this technology integration we are leveraging TIBCO's expertise and experience as a respected provider of high-performance messaging software and business integration."

"This improves the overall business integration effort from the business analyst, architect and developer all the way up to the CTO."
