Tony H,
Yes it does have a Developement Centre In Toronto. Most of the old,
and I mean old, Amdahl guys are still happily working on the product from
Toronto and elsewhere around the world. There are several other centres for
non-mainframe products.
As well as being DBMS and developement language for several major
companies. i.e. it's initial function, Tibco use Huron, aka ObjectStar, aka
Object Service Broker as one of their gateways to mainframe data for their
non-mainframe products.
Tony B,
If you want to know anything specific about Tibco contact me at
rmacrae at tibco dot com and I'll find someone who can help you. (If you are
looking for an unbiased opinion on the company then I guess you'll need to go
elsewhere, the website mentions quite a few customers.)
Regards, Ron MacRae, ex Amdahl, ex Softek, ex Fujitsu, ex ObjectStar
currently working in the UK for Tibco Software.
