TiBCO’s relationship with Heinsohn dates back to 2011. At that time the primary aim was to improve TiBCO’s internal business applications. Over the years, the relationship has evolved significantly:  Today there are hundreds of Heinsohn engineers helping TiBCO optimize its business throughout the region.

If everything goes according to plan, Heinsohn will double its number of engineers this year. Bogota-based Heinsohn has employed over 700 technology professionals. And, two-thirds of engineers are certified professionals in skills such as .NeT, Java, and software architecture, SOA/BPM.

TiBCO says it tapped Heinsohn for its experience in complex systems, integrated software development, and Service Oriented architecture (SOA) consulting capability. More than anything else, the TiBCO team needed a partner that could satisfy their need for an Agile-driven development processes.

The partnership has greatly paved the way for TiBCO to bring its own Big Data and software integration solutions to Colombia and other important markets in Latin America.
