TIBCO, Oakland Raiders Launch New Mobile App for Fans, Bringing Real-Time Experiences to Raider Nation

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 17, 2013) - From big screens the size of football fields to paperless tickets to live streams of games on mobile devices, technology is rapidly changing the sports fan's experience. Understanding this, TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) has announced the launch of the Oakland Raiders App, a customizable mobile application that allows fans to connect with the team like never before. The app is currently available for iOS™ and Android™ devices.

It's rooted in TIBCO's event-processing technology, allowing the Raiders to deliver experiences in real time based on fans' preferences, likes, dislikes, location and on the team's available merchandise inventory. Raider fans can access the interactive season schedule, detailed roster information, connect with fellow fans and tap into real-time polls during games. Leveraging TIBCO's unique location-and-activity-awareness technologies, the app sends fans real-time notifications on ticket offers, parking information and merchandise discounts based on a fan's proximity to a Raiders store.

"The Raiders app, like TIBCO, is at the intersection of the industry's most compelling trends: mobile, social, local, cloud and real-time interactivity. Its unique Fan Manager backend continuously serves up fresh and relevant content by engaging with the fan in real time, not hours or days later as with traditional systems," said Wen Miao, global head of TIBCO's Client Technical Services. "TIBCO's platform dramatically simplifies the integration of social, loyalty, analytics, and content within the cloud, delivering the ultimate fan experience across any channel, allowing the Raiders to stay actively engaged with their fans and extending the Raider Nation fan experience everywhere in the world."

The Raiders app is TIBCO's second venture into the world of professional sports apps. The new Raiders app has already been downloaded more than 100,000 times.

"The Raiders have always put our fans first and consistently push to bring them the best experience possible. Increasingly, technology is playing a critical role in connecting the team to the fans, who are demanding more and more from their engagement with the team," said Matthew Pasco, director of IT for the Raiders. "With TIBCO's technology, we can bring our fans a more dynamic, customized and full-featured experience in real-time. The result is an increased level of access and interactive functionality, boosting fan loyalty of an already loyal fan base and connecting fans to Raider Nation 24/7."
