BEA Announces Phase One of Project Genesis to Enable Dynamic Business Applications for ISV Community
December 12 2007 - 3:01AM
PR Newswire (US)
BEA to Deliver First Enterprise-class SaaS-enabled Platform
SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEAWorld -- BEA
Systems, Inc., a world leader in enterprise infrastructure
software, today announced that it will deliver the industry's first
open, enterprise-grade, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform in Q2
2008. This platform will simplify the way enterprises and
independent software vendors (ISVs) create dynamic business
applications. The new BEA platform will be the first deliverable of
Project Genesis, a BEA initiative introduced in September 2007 to
enable companies to transform and differentiate their businesses
with next-generation dynamic business applications. Dynamic
business applications conform to the way people work, adapting to
business context, fostering collaboration and enabling knowledge
workers to initiate change without the lengthy IT cycles required
to update traditional packaged applications. The first phase of
Project Genesis will remove key adoption inhibitors previously
faced by ISVs developing dynamic business applications via a
software-as-a-service model. "Genesis is BEA's vision for a
platform that radically simplifies the way enterprises and ISVs
create, operate and govern dynamic business applications," said
Alfred Chuang, chairman and chief executive officer, BEA Systems.
"Genesis embraces and extends everything that BEA does -- from
Tuxedo, to WebLogic, to AquaLogic." With Genesis, ISVs will finally
have an open, enterprise-class SaaS application platform that
easily integrates with on-premise applications and existing
architectures. Currently, an open, enterprise-class SaaS
application platform does not exist to address these challenges.
"BEA's SaaS-enabled platform will help ISVs and business
participants develop dynamic business applications with a
simplified and unified environment," added Chuang. The first phase
of the Genesis platform will include the following capabilities for
application innovation: -- A container for SaaS applications,
deployable in virtualized environments -- Presentation services for
user access and interaction -- Flexible metering capabilities to
support end-user billing -- Fine-grained entitlements for
multi-tenant security -- BEA WorkSpace 360(TM), a unified and
collaborative application lifecycle design, deployment and
management environment engaging both business and IT. "This is
great news for current and prospective SaaS providers. BEA can
change the game in the SaaS marketplace by enabling ISVs to
leverage its expertise in delivering enterprise-class software
infrastructure," said Sam Jankovich, president and chief executive
officer of EnterConnect, Inc. "We are looking forward to utilizing
Genesis in our global SaaS marketplace, SOAapps.com, which already
leverages BEA technology to deliver a secure, multi-tenant
environment for ISVs to host, market, sell and service SaaS
solutions. We believe BEA will enable us to scale beyond anything
available to the SaaS market today, including Open Source
technology." With Project Genesis, BEA will deliver a dynamic
business application platform that converges service-oriented
architecture (SOA), business process management, enterprise social
computing and other technologies to transform software applications
and how they are built. Project Genesis extends BEA's vision by
enabling end-users to participate in the application lifecycle for
dynamic business applications. For more information, please visit:
