As we expand to the broader application infrastructure market, we are taking the lead in making Web services ready for the enterprise,” stated BEA founder, president and CEO, Alfred Chuang.
“More and more of our Fortune 500 customers are moving toward larger projects on distributed architectures. As they do this, the performance advantages of our application infrastructure become increasingly apparent, and customers see the advantage of standardizing on a company-wide infrastructure.”
“Our penetration in the application infrastructure market is demonstrated not only by the individual successes of our recently released BEA WebLogic Integration and BEA WebLogic Portal products, but also by the increasing demand for our entire enterprise platform. Chuang continued.”
Among BEA’s key customer and partner deals for the quarter included AT&T, Bell Canada, China Construction Bank, Credit Suisse Group, Deutsche Bank, E*Trade, Hewlett-Packard, Prudential, Societe Generale, Texas Instruments, Sony Pictures, Verizon and Wells Fargo.
