More and more large IT vendors engage into social software business. According to the rumors, Microsoft will soon release its microblogging tool OfficeTalk that has been under development for a year. And another big software company Tibco today has launched its social intranet solution tibbr. It's another Facebook for Enterprise clone, but with unique features that make tibbr, perhaps, the most complete solution for large companies. First, tibbr is the most powerful social aggregator. It allows you to follow not only co-workers messages, but also any updates in enterprise IT systems (e.g. ERP, CRM ...), in RSS-flows and external social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn ...) .

Because the main Tibco's areas of expertise - are SOA and BPM systems. I.e. this company is one of the best in integrating business applications and data sources. Therefore, tibbr by default provides integration with many enterprise systems (Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, IBM ...). User can easily configure the required information flows - for example, subscribe project status updates or to new orders that exceed a certain amount. Something like that we saw in Salesforce Chatter, but Chatter only works in Salesforce ecosystem, and tibbr can work in any IT infrastructure.

Another tibbr's killer feature  - is social business intelligence. In combination with the BI application Tibco Spotfire, tibbr allows you to create intelligent flows of information that contain less noise and more useful signals.

In addition, tibbr provides all necessary enterprise features: Active Directory support, mobile apps for Android, BlackBerry and iOS, in-house version, in addition to SaaS, extensive administration capabilities. tibbr costs $12 per month per user.
