BackWeb Completes BEA Validation Program
BackWeb's Offline Access Server Integrates with BEA WebLogic Platform to Extend
Applications to Mobile Workers
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BackWeb Technologies Ltd.
(NASDAQ:BWEB) today announced that BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) has
completed the BEA Validation Program and is now verified to integrate with BEA
WebLogic Platform(TM) 8.1. By completing this program, BackWeb can help assure
customers that BackWeb Offline Access Server is designed to integrate with the
industry's leading application infrastructure software from BEA Systems, Inc.
Customers can utilize BackWeb Offline Access Server to gain mobile,
disconnected use of their portals and Web applications to help increase field
sales and field service productivity. To date, BackWeb and BEA have worked
with a number of joint customers and have demonstrated the strength of their
combined solution in a range of industries.
Together, BackWeb and BEA can provide a thin-client solution that is designed
to help developers extend portal applications for offline use without changing
the way they work, while helping customers extend the use of Web applications
built with the BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 and BEA WebLogic Portal 8.1(TM). The
resulting applications can help field sales and service organizations as they
work to realize maximum productivity, cost savings and process acceleration
gains from employees using BEA Web applications while disconnected from the
network.
"BEA's validation of Offline Access Server helps to underscore the strength and
technical readiness of our solution for organizations that want to keep
business moving and mobile employees productive by providing a solution
designed to allow offline access to portals, intranets and Web applications,"
said Bill Heye, vice president of business development and product management
at BackWeb. "By integrating the BackWeb Offline Access Server with the
WebLogic Portal and the WebLogic Workshop, we can help companies make
applications even more useful to employees in the field where mobility is their
key to success."
The BEA Validation Program provides a testing framework to verify the technical
readiness of partner solutions that complement, operate with, or extend the BEA
WebLogic Platform(TM) 8.1. Partners can validate the integration of their
software applications and solutions with BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 or test the
interoperability of Java controls and integrated development environment (IDE)
extensions with BEA WebLogic Workshop 8.1. The BEA Validation Program is open
to all partners enrolled in the BEA Partner Program.
"BackWeb is an important partner of BEA, providing a solution that is designed
to help BEA customers more easily and cost-effectively mobilize, or offline
enable, BEA portals for mobile laptop users with occasional network
connectivity. We're pleased that BackWeb is participating in the BEA Partner
Program and has taken the extra step to validate BackWeb Offline Access Server
with BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform," said Larry Aronovitz, director of
Worldwide Partner Programs, BEA Systems. "BEA's validation program is designed
to help accelerate adoption of partners' solutions and increase market
opportunities by helping to assure mutual customers that these partners'
technology solutions are verified to integrate with the BEA WebLogic Enterprise
Platform."
