## History

Spotfire was founded by Christopher Ahlberg and Ben Shneiderman to develop applications of dynamic queries in the early 1990s.

Ahlberg returned to Sweden and developed an enhanced UNIX implementation of his visual data analysis tool, the Information Visualization and Exploration Environment (IVEE).

Spotfire was launched in mid-1996 by IVEE Development, which was renamed Spotfire Inc.[1]

TIBCO bought the company in 2007 for $190 million.[2][3][4] In November 2011, TIBCO added business intelligence (BI) and analytics software Spotfire 4.0 with Microsoft SharePoint integration.[5]

(As of 2018), the latest version is Spotfire X.[6][7] Spotfire X incorporates natural language query (NLQ) powered search, AI-driven recommendations, and model-based processing.[8]
