Market Leader BEA WebLogic Increased Its #1 Market Share in 2000
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS chart, msgs), one of the world's leading e-business infrastructure software companies, has been recognized by Giga Information Group as the world's number one provider of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application servers for the second year running. According to the analyst firm, BEA WebLogic captured 35 percent of the $1.64 billion market for J2EE application servers in 2000.

BEA WebLogic Server, the market's most advanced J2EE application server, is the foundation of the BEA WebLogic E-Business Platform, which has been selected by more than 9,400 of the most successful businesses around the world. BEA WebLogic Server powers the most demanding applications at companies that cannot risk reliability, including 100% of the Fortune Global 500 Telecommunications companies, 100% of the Fortune Global 500 Computer/Office Equipment manufacturers, 100% of the Fortune Global 500 Financial Securities and Diversified Financial companies, 100% of the Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Healthcare companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Airline and Delivery Service companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Aerospace companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Electronic Equipment companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Insurance companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Motor Vehicle and Parts companies, the majority of the Fortune Global 500 Commercial Banking companies, including the top 9 of the American Banker Top 100, and the majority of the customers on Forbes Super 100, Fortune Global 500, Fortune 500 (year 2000), Fortune e-50, and Business 2.0 100 lists.

"In the wake of the dot-bomb debacle and in the midst of a tight economy, businesses are increasingly looking to their e-business infrastructure for strategic advantages in cost-savings and revenue opportunities," said Bill Coleman, BEA's founder, chairman and CEO. "Thousands of these businesses have standardized on BEA WebLogic because it gives them a single, tightly integrated platform that supports their critical e-business applications, from personalized e-commerce to customer relationship management to application integration to smoothly interoperating value chains."

Looking beyond the analysts' market share estimates, financial results reported by BEA and IBM strongly support the view that BEA has gained market share much faster than its competitors. BEA has reported significantly higher revenue growth rates for BEA WebLogic than IBM has reported for WebSphere in recent quarters. For example, in the most recent quarter IBM reported 53 percent year-on-year growth for WebSphere, whereas BEA reported 168 percent year-on-year growth for BEA WebLogic in the quarter ending January 2001 and 200 percent growth in BEA WebLogic revenues for the full fiscal year that ended in January 2001. These differences in growth rates also suggest that the number of BEA WebLogic customers is actually growing faster than IBM WebSphere's, because the BEA WebLogic customer base was much larger than WebSphere's at the beginning of 2000.

BEA WebLogic Personalization Server's Portal Framework is Core to Aggregation of Online Information and Applications at Akamai, BenefitsCorp, Carrefour-Jardins, Medscape, and totalmoving.com
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 15, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS chart, msgs), one of the world's leading e-business infrastructure software companies, today announced that more than 400 customers have licensed BEA WebLogic(R) Personalization Server, which includes the increasingly popular BEA portal framework software. The portal framework acts as an aggregation point for customers' partners, employees and end users to access online applications, information and systems. BEA customers using the portal framework software include Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM chart, msgs); BenefitsCorp, a subsidiary of Great-West Life and Annuity Insurance Company; Carrefour-Jardins; Medscape (Nasdaq: MDLI chart, msgs); and totalmoving.com, a moving service portal from Public Storage, Inc.

"BEA's portal framework was core to the development of I.AM.AKAMAI, a comprehensive, personalized portal that aggregates customer service tools and information for Akamai customers and partners," said Lara Bashkoff, director, Akamai Online Services. "BEA's standards-based platform provides the performance we require to ensure the reliability of our portal services, and accelerates application development and integration."

BEA's portal framework allows customers to personalize content layout and access to enterprise applications, and to securely manage group access to portal applications. The framework offers reusable, extensible and pre-built portal functions, allowing customers to deliver real-time, tailored content and commerce functionality.

WebLogic Server's exceptional reliability, manageability and scalability helps speed time-to-market, and its standards certification helps reduce the cost of developing enterprise Web portals.

"Integrating portal services into application servers enables greater flexibility and customization than you get with a stand-alone product," said Craig Roth, senior program director at META Group, a leading research and consulting firm. "Organizations are interested in having their e-business applications, such as portals, run on top of application servers in order to leverage existing investments in clustering, data access, connection pooling, integration, failover, and administration."

"Businesses are realizing that they can create a competitive advantage and enhance customer loyalty by delivering new customer value through enterprise portals," said Gail Ennis, vice president of marketing, BEA E-Commerce Application Components Division. "BEA WebLogic Personalization Server has gained greater market acceptance because the combination of portal frameworks, personalization and Web application servers are all mandatory for e-businesses."

BEA portal framework is part of BEA WebLogic Personalization Server. All BEA WebLogic Servers can be downloaded from www.bea.com.
