The business mashup capabilities in Spotfire 2.1 merge Web 2.0 and BI into business applications that solve specific business problems.
Spotfire 2.1 brings the interactive, visual nature of innovative Web 2.0 applications to enterprise users, allowing subject matter experts to leverage standard interfaces and BI data to create user experiences - from rich analytic applications for a particular business problem to next-gen dashboards and reports - that speed insights and prompt better business decisions.
This type of speed and flexibility is difficult to achieve quickly with traditional BI solutions.
With Spotfire 2.1, Tibco is releasing an enhanced set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow partners and customers to build analytics applications for any business process.
These APIs make it easier for companies to create a seamlessly integrated user experience, by customising the user interface and even developing new data visualisations for the Tibco Spotfire Web Player.
Security improvements provide better integration to existing infrastructure for internal and external use over the web.
Spotfire has enhanced this version to provide deeper visual insights to business users.
Spotfire 2.1 offers dynamically drawn curve and line fits that isolate trends and patterns, allowing for interactive comparison, as well multi-scale axes that make it a snap to compare trends across disparate variables.

"The capabilities in Spotfire 2.1 meet our demand for showing general trends in a vibrant and intuitive way, so decision-makers can immediately evaluate how effective a marketing campaign has been - compared to earlier campaigns or the industry in general".
Spotfire 2.1 enables everyone in the enterprise to benefit from the power of analytics, and with this release Spotfire is offering training for all users - from developer to business analyst to everyday business front-line user.
Spotfire has expanded its training options by offering regional and on-site training, as well as expanding its comprehensive online offerings, including on-demand, web-based training and user communities.
