BackWeb Announces Joint Solution to Extend BEA Applications to
Mobile Workers
BackWeb Increases Value of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Applications
Running on the WebLogic Platform
BEA eWorld, SAN FRANCISCO, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BackWeb
Technologies Ltd. today announced a solution that is designed to help BEA
customers more easily and cost-effectively mobilize, or offline enable, any BEA
Web application for mobile laptop users with intermittent network connectivity.
Announced at BEA's eWorld Conference in San Francisco, the joint solution aims
to help sales and field service organizations realize maximum productivity,
cost savings and process acceleration gains from employees using BEA Web
applications while disconnected from the network.
Customers utilize BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) technology to gain
mobile, disconnected use of their portals and Web applications for increased
field sales and field service productivity. To date, BackWeb and BEA have
worked with joint customers and have demonstrated the strength of their
combined solution with a range of companies, including one of the world's
largest pharmaceutical companies, which is providing thousands of mobile sales
representatives uninterrupted availability of content contained in their portal
which is based on BEA and Documentum technology, as well as a multi- billion
dollar healthcare company that is giving their field sales representatives
access to critical content such as contacts, leads, and opportunities while
disconnected from the network.
BackWeb will integrate its BackWeb Offline Access Server technology with
WebLogic Workshop to allow developers to simultaneously create applications
that work both online and offline and help obtain the highest possible return
from investments in Web applications built with BEA Workshop. BEA WebLogic
Workshop is designed to enable developers to rapidly create, test and deploy
service-oriented, enterprise-class applications and Web services on the BEA
WebLogic platform.
"This announcement builds on our success jointly selling with BEA in the
marketplace and makes it possible for BEA customers to mobilize their
applications for offline use," said Erez Lorber, CEO of BackWeb. "By
integrating the BackWeb Offline Access Server with the BEA Portal and the
WebLogic Workshop, we allow companies to make applications even more useful to
employees in the field where mobility is their key to success."
