SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEA Systems
(NASDAQ:BEAS), a world leader in enterprise infrastructure
software, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc.
in the leaders quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Business Process
Management Suites, 2007"(1) report. The Magic Quadrant for Business
Process Management Suites, 2007 evaluated 22 vendors and
"summarizes the state of the market for business process management
suites (BPMSs)." BEA AquaLogic(R) BPM is recognized by its
customers for empowering business users to collaborate with IT

MGrtnrMgcQuad03.XX.WP.FE.08DC.X.RES "BEA has seen massive growth of
our BPM product across our customer base and in the market at
large," said Mark Carges, Executive Vice President, Products and
General Manager, Business Interaction Division at BEA Systems.
"There is pent-up demand for a more dynamic way to manage a
business, and the web of processes that support it. For years,
companies have struggled with inflexible IT systems dictating flow
of key processes like how a customer is supported or how a product
order gets fulfilled. With BPM, it's possible for companies to
embrace change and act faster to meet dynamic business requirements
because it empowers the business to have more direct control over
their enterprise applications." The market for business process
management technology is in rapid growth and transformation,
growing by as much as 45 percent per year, according to some
industry analysts. A market that consisted of small start-up
companies only a few years ago has been consolidating in favor of
vendors that can support a full offering of BPM complemented by
enabling technologies for collaboration and Service Oriented
Architecture. BEA is positioned to lead this market as one of the
fastest growing providers with the broadest and most unified
product offering. "We started with BPM at the tactical level to
address a few processes that were slow, manual and time consuming,"
said Peter Haas, Director of Technology at the Supreme Court of
Louisiana. "But with the rapid success we've seen using BEA's
collaborative BPM, we're growing our process improvements to the
strategic level, tackling mission-critical items that affect the
overall success of the Court." With the recent release of BEA
AquaLogic(R) BPM 6.0, designed to integrate the modeling, execution
and monitoring of end-to-end business processes, BEA introduced
enhanced dynamic collaboration and business intelligence
capabilities that are designed to improve a business's ability to
share knowledge, coordinate activities and conduct real-time
process simulations to optimize real process outcomes. The release
also established BEA AquaLogic(R) BPM as the product with the most
comprehensive standards support in the industry, including Business
Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), XML Process Definition Language
(XPDL 2.0) and the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL 2.0).
BEA AquaLogic(R) BPM is a key component of BEA's strategy to
deliver a new class of dynamic business applications that puts
every corporate individual in the driver's seat as agents of
change, empowered to rapidly improve processes, incorporate new
innovations and respond to challenges with minimal corporate
friction. For more information, please visit
