"IBM's Results Show no Gain in Market Share Versus WebLogic"
George Godfrey, Jennifer Swanson
Research Report from ABN-AMRO, 19 July 2001
"Market leader BEA will stake its ground as a database agnostic alternative and, as such, will remain a popular choice for Independent Software Vendors."
"Enterprise Commerce Management:
The Blueprint for the Next Generation of Enterprise Systems"
Bob Parker
AMR Research, June 2001
"It's becoming a real dogfight between the two. BEA is determined to be the leader in infrastructure and [this announcement] keeps the pressure on contenders such as IBM, ATG, iPlanet and HP/Bluestone to do likewise. BEA just doesn't want to be known as just an application server company, and adding portal capability and integration technology helps the company round out its offering."
Tyler McDaniel, Analyst
The Hurwitz Group

Customers

"We investigated every feasible alternative to our existing system prior to selecting BEA because of the complex demands of our information systems. Our first strategic decision was to adopt Java—J2EE to be precise—as our standard development environment to accelerate, simplify and control the cost of developing and managing critical systems. From there, our search reached its logical conclusion at BEA WebLogic Server. BEA is the market and technology leader in Java-based application servers, and BEA WebLogic met or exceeded all of our operational and technical requirements. By the end of the evaluation process, there really was no decision."
Kevin Allen, European Development Director
FT Interactive Data
"Before we chose BEA WebLogic we did our due diligence homework. We looked at other application servers and decided that WebLogic was the most proven and the most appropriate for our needs."
Benjamin Glicher, Managing Director
Financial Services Technology
PwC Consulting
"Going with BEA WebLogic Server was pretty obvious, because they have consistently been out in the forefront of supporting enterprise Java standards. We've found that third-party suppliers of EJB components generally test on WebLogic because it's the de facto enterprise Java standard."
Grant Kushida, System Architect
Kiko.com
"BEA WebLogic Server was hands-down the best application server out there because of the quality of its database components, its ability to cluster and scale, its compliance with Java standards, and its absolute compatibility across our different platforms."
Joe Larizza, CTO
Stockback
"We have not been able to get a successful implementation on anything but BEA WebLogic. Sometimes a client bank will insist on another platform, but our experience has been that these products don't seem to be as mature in the marketplace and don't support the full set of standards that we're trying to code to within our applications."
John Brady, Vice President
Alltel Emerging Systems Architecture Team
"Primarily, what DISH Network was looking for was a system that had been proven to handle our kind of customer interaction at the kind of volume that we expected to see. We needed something that would minimize the risk while allowing us to shorten our development time. BEA rapidly rose to the top of the list of considered vendors."
Curtis Elswick, Director of IT and Systems Architect
EchoStar (DISH Network)
"We made a strategic decision in 1999 to transition all of our internal and customer application development to the Java platform, which provides scalability, ease and speed of programming, and the ability to reuse and share code across business enterprises. BEA WebLogic Server, the market-leading Java application server, will help enable us to deliver on this promise."
Nadene Re, Senior Vice President
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
