Frequently asked questions about EBX

What is EBX?

EBX^®, formerly TIBCO EBX, is a model-driven, multi-domain master data management (MDM) platform developed by ON EBX™, a Cloud Software Group business unit. It helps organizations manage, govern, and enrich master data, reference data, and metadata, turning fragmented data into a trusted foundation for operations, analytics, and AI. Explore the platform.

Which data domains can EBX manage?

EBX can master and model any data domain, including customer, product, supplier, location, assets, and reference data, in a single platform with cross-domain relationships and hierarchies. Many organizations start with one domain and expand as their data strategy evolves. See use cases.

What makes EBX different from other MDM tools?

EBX combines a model-driven architecture with multi-domain management in one platform. You define and evolve data models, relationships, hierarchies, and governance rules without relying on rigid, prepackaged schemas. Governance workflows, validation rules, permissions, match and merge, and golden record management are built in, and open integration standards help avoid vendor lock-in. Why choose EBX.

How does EBX support AI?

AI is only as reliable as the data behind it. EBX adds structure, relationships, and business context to enterprise data at the source, so analytics, AI, and LLM-based use cases receive governed, context-rich inputs. ON EBX is also advancing AI-assisted data stewardship.

Is EBX from ON EBX the same product as TIBCO EBX?

Yes. EBX began at Orchestra Networks as a pioneer in model-driven MDM and grew under TIBCO to serve complex global enterprises. Today, ON EBX is the dedicated business unit for EBX, backed by Cloud Software Group. Read our story.

How can EBX be deployed?

EBX can be deployed on premises within your own infrastructure, in cloud environments, or in hybrid environments that combine both to meet data residency, regulatory, and operational requirements.

How does EBX integrate with other systems?

EBX provides REST and SOAP data services with governed access to master data, validation, and permission enforcement, along with Java APIs and import, export, and SQL capabilities. Integration uses open standards so data flows consistently across your enterprise systems.
