So little content in the article about why this was needed. The argument about improving analytics for Citrix products using Tibco products seems extremely weak. I don't see much if any opportunities here for any combined improvement at the tech stack level. Where there is any opportunity there is redundancy like gateway functionality. All the best to those working there and trying to figure out what next.

When I saw the headline I started laughing. I cannot for the life of me understand how these two companies make sense to glue together. Is Vista hoping it's like a bundled deal in the grocery store? Nobody wants to buy this particular brand of chocolate or this particular flavor of ice cream, but if I put it in a plastic bag and sell them together as a "weekly special" somebody will buy it???

  My guess: Tibco has been owned by Vista for 6 or more years. They trust the management and they'll use them to reorg Citrix - reducing finance, HR and marketing expenses.
