Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a . As a leading provider of enterprise middleware products and services, BEA specifically designed this program to provide high-touch access to BEA technology, and help allow developers to quickly gain the experience to successfully develop and deploy high-quality enterprise solutions. BEA's Enterprise Developer Program is a service-rich program for supporting third-party software developers and other solution providers interested in developing enterprise solutions which work with BEA M3(TM) and BEA TUXEDO A TP monitor from BEA Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA (www.beasys.com) that runs on a variety of Unix-based computers. Originally developed by AT&T and sold as source code, Novell acquired it, enhanced it and offered it as shrink-wrapped software for various Unix servers. (R), and other components of BEA's middleware technology. Members receive development software and documentation, hands-on technical education, technical phone support, and marketing assistance. This combination of services is intended to provide developers resources to successfully develop, deploy, and manage complex, business-critical solutions. In addition, the compatibility of BEA M3 and BEA TUXEDO helps enable developers to begin component-based development on the BEA M3 platform while continuing to develop on BEA TUXEDO platform. "Our Enterprise Developer Program demonstrates the importance BEA places on providing solution developers the support and services they need to more quickly and easily develop enterprise applications to meet their customers needs in distributed, multi-platform environments," said Gail Ennis, vice president of worldwide alliances for BEA. "This Program delivers to software developers the education, support, and professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. to make it easier to take advantage of BEA's industry-leading middleware solutions." "BEA's Enterprise Developer Program provides developers with a suite of services to help quickly create enterprise solutions that run on BEA's middleware architecture," said Mansour Safai, vice president of Symantec's Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the Tools Division. "Symantec's involvement in BEA's Enterprise Developer Program is a continuation of the close partnership we began forming in April, when BEA selected Symantec as its strategic Java tools partner. Through this partnership, developers can more easily develop component-based solutions using Symantec's award winning Visual Cafe A family of Java development products formerly from the WebGain division of Symantec and sold to TogetherSoft Corporation in 2002, which was acquired by Borland in 2003. Versions for Windows and the Macintosh were available that included a host of Java components and features for rapidly family of products." "In light of the movement toward component technologies, developers require best-of-breed component-based solutions that more closely link middleware, database and C++ or Java front ends," said Francois Bancilhon, chief technology officer for Ardent. "BEA's Enterprise Developers Program helps allow Ardent to better serve its customers by extending its existing support for BEA M3 and BEA TUXEDO through tighter integration with Ardent's object/relational middleware as well as O2 object database products, timely updates and improved service."

Concorde Solutions
"BEA technology helped us meet our customer needs in the
timeframe they needed. For Bank of America's Loans on Line(TM)
product, we implemented our Data Object Manager(TM) (DOM) product to
provide a single point of contact to the various back-end data
systems, but we needed a transaction manager to handle off-line
processing when systems were unavailable. By integrating DOM with BEA
Tuxedo, we were able to meet the launch date for the customer via the
BEA Tuxedo off-line queuing feature. In addition, our integration with
BEA Tuxedo allows DOM to utilize the product's load balancing and
lifecycle management services. We view our DOM integration with BEA
Tuxedo as a significant market advantage for our product. BEA's
Enterprise Developer Program helps give us the ability to build
distributed enterprise applications quickly and efficiently."

Dynasty
"Enterprises today have discovered that using one of the leading
middleware products in combination with one of the leading development
environments is important to creating applications that provide the
competitive advantage they need. No 4GL with closed, proprietary
runtimes can currently provide the performance and scalability
developers of large, highly transactional business-critical systems
need. The DYNASTY Development Environment has long supported BEA
TUXEDO and was among the first development environments to support BEA
M3. We believe that DYNASTY and the BEA TUXEDO and BEA M3 middleware
products provide the right platform for enterprises that really want
to make an impact in the market and we see real benefits from
participating in the BEA Enterprise Developer Program."
