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]
