Tibco Software Inc. next week will unveil server softwarefor business portals, along with an upgrade to its application-integration suite.

The server offering, TIB/Portal for Yahoo, lets companies create customized portals that provide employees with access to enterprise applications and public content from Yahoo's Corporate My Yahoo portal. TIB/Portal for Yahoo retrieves both the internal and external information and combines it into a Web browser format. Yahoo became a minority investor in Tibco last month when it bought $4 million in common stock; it's also a licensee of Tibco software.

Tibco will also release the second version of TIB/ ActiveEnterprise, a suite of software for integrating enterprise applications so they can share data. The update includes features similar to those found in rival application-integration software from Active Software, IBM, and Vitria Technology. One new component, TIB/IntegrationManager, lets IT departments integrate business processes using a graphical mapping procedure, and eliminates the need for extensive software coding required with the initial release of the suite. Another component is TIB/ Adapter SDK, a kit that lets developers build adapters for each application they want to integrate.

All of the products will be available this month except TIB/IntegrationManager, which will ship by year's end. Prices vary based on the components used.
