Application infrastructure software provider TIBCO Software Inc. on Thursday announced a 17% jump in sales in its recently closed first quarter, a spike that the company credited in part to its 2007 acquisition of business intelligence specialist Spotfire.

For the quarter ended March 2, 2008, TIBCO reported revenue of $146.6 million, a 17% gain on the $125.7 million reported in the year-earlier quarter. License revenue showed an 11% improvement to $57.8 million in the quarter, from $52.1 million a year ago. But the real highflier was TIBCO's services and maintenance revenue, which soared 21% to $86.9 million.

Acquisition and other expenses nearly halved TIBCO's net income, which declined to $5.5 million from $10.4 million in the same period a year ago. That translated into per-share net income of $0.03, down from $0.05 in 2007's first quarter.
