ScreamingMedia and BEA Systems to Offer an Integrated Content and Technology Solution for Enterprise Portals TUESDAY, JUNE 05, 2001 8:10 AM - BusinessWire NEW YORK, Jun 5, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ScreamingMedia, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCRM), a leading global provider of content solutions and BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAS), one of the world's leading e-business infrastructure software companies, have announced a strategic partnership to provide enterprises worldwide with customized content through an integrated software solution. ScreamingMedia has partnered with BEA to create SiteWare(TM) for BEA, which includes an adapter that seamlessly aggregates and integrates ScreamingMedia content directly into the open and extensible BEA Portal Framework housed within BEA WebLogic Personalization Server(TM) version 3.5. SiteWare for BEA will be bundled in a BEA partner pack to ship with the WebLogic Personalization Server 3.5. SiteWare for BEA also will be integrated with BEA WebLogic Portal(TM) 4.0, announced separately today and scheduled to be available in October 2001. "ScreamingMedia is the defacto standard for content syndication applications, and will strengthen BEA's portal framework solution," said Gail Ennis vice president of marketing, BEA E-Commerce Application Components Division. "This partnership increases productivity and saves valuable time for our customers, helping reduce their overall costs of deploying WebLogic portal solutions." In addition to the SiteWare technology, ScreamingMedia is offering a free 30-day trial of promotional content to all BEA clients who receive the BEA partner pack. Following the trial period, customers using SiteWare for BEA can easily transition to full, content access by simply purchasing any of ScreamingMedia's content services. ScreamingMedia's syndicated content covers a wide range of topics and mediums including news, features, photos, video, stock quotes, audio, weather reports and more from approximately 3,000 sources. "We are very excited about our strategic alliance with BEA, a recognized leader in the eBusiness infrastructure space," said Kevin Clark, chairman and CEO of ScreamingMedia. "This new partnership with BEA is indicative of the growing trend in the need for our content-related services." Clark continued, "With this newest version of its server, BEA has created an innovative way for enterprises to manage all aspects of their eBusiness through one single platform that is based upon the convergence of the Web application server and portal. Our integration with BEA will afford some of the leading enterprises in the world access to fresh, relevant content, thus significantly enhancing their overall portal offering."
