I doubt if any one would buy BEAS at this price. Not now. Even HP is not geared to handle enterprise software business. It doesn't matter now - if BEAS continues its vigor in the E*Commerce market.

Rebranding is essential to BEAS. The term Enterprise Middleware has lost its charm. "E*Commerce Transactions" sounds more in tune with the current market.

Though I see BEAS' products are used by many, I haven't noticed the big guys such as Scient/Viant and other web site building companies pick up BEAS' stuff. They could use WLE for aspiring web businesses.
WLE can help web companies scale to the sizes of Amazon/E*Trade - without too much effort. This winter will be testing time for the scalability and reliability of all web business sites.

Interestingly, I saw an article in recent Business Week - about a company called Cogniscent. They are like Scient but seems to talk more about BEAS' customers. Don't know how big they are - but wish they use BEAS' stuff.

I was at Internet World today in NY .. haven't seen BEAS over there. It is important for BEAS to participate in these conferences.
