TIBCO Spotfire is an analytics platform. Before being acquired by TIBCO in 2007, Spotfire was a business intelligence company based in Somerville, Massachusetts. The new A(X) version was launched in November 2018 and includes natural language search and AI-powered insights, a new user interface, automated data flows, and real-time data streams.

History

Spotfire's origins trace back to the University of Maryland Human–Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park where, a visiting student from Sweden in the early 1990s, Christopher Ahlberg, worked with Ben Shneiderman to develop applications of dynamic queries. Ahlberg returned to Sweden and developed an enhanced UNIX implementation of his visual data analysis tool, the Information Visualization and Exploration Environment (IVEE). Spotfire was launched in mid-1996 by IVEE Development, which was renamed Spotfire Inc.[1]

TIBCO bought the company in 2007.[2][3] In November 2011, TIBCO added business intelligence (BI) and analytics software Spotfire 4.0 with Microsoft SharePoint integration.[4]

As of 2018, the latest version is Spotfire X.[5][6] Spotfire X incorporates natural language query (NLQ) powered search, AI-driven recommendations, and model-based processing.[7]
