1054.0. "BEA Systems Inc" by SYSTEM::NELSON (David, http://samedi.reo.dec.com/) Tue Feb 18 1997 04:15

    	I noticed BEA Systems Inc. recently had an IPO.
    
    	They have a product called TUXEDO.  From what I 
    	understand, it first belonged to UNIX System
    	Laboratories (AT&T) and was sold to Novell, who
    	then sold it to BEA Systems.
    
    	Does anyone know anything more about this company? ;-)
    
    	Cheers,
    	   David

the middleware deal said.

	Before you can have an IPO, you must file a request with the
	SEC.  That's what BEA Systems has done (the filing is available
	from Web site that has all the filings companies make with
	the SEC).

	The IPO itself has not taken place yet.

	Jeff (who is one of those who has been aquired by BEA Systems,
	and is hoping the IPO goes well since stock options in BEA are
	part of the job offer :-)

                 Digital and Bea Form Worldwide Technology Partnership
                    to Deliver Universal Middleware Infrastructure
    
               Companies Collaborate to Develop and Distribute Products
    
    
         MAYNARD, Mass. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., February 18, 1997 -- 
    Digital Equipment Corporation and BEA Systems, Inc. today extend 
    their long-standing relationship by announcing a major strategic 
    technology and distribution partnership to simplify the development 
    and deployment of distributed, mission-critical applications.
    
         This worldwide collaboration will provide the first 
    industry-standard, cross-platform universal middleware 
    infrastructure, and brings together the leading products in 
    distributed transaction middleware, object technology, and 
    message-oriented middleware. 
    
         Under terms of the agreement, DIGITAL and BEA will work 
    together to deliver a broad, integrated middleware portfolio, 
    created from their respective industry-leading software components.  
    BEA will acquire DIGITAL's ObjectBroker, DECmessageQ, and related 
    software technology, making BEA the only complete, cross-platform 
    provider of open middleware.  This transaction is pending U.S. 
    Government approval.
     
         BEA also will provide its market-leading BEA TUXEDO product on 
    DIGITAL's OpenVMS platform in addition to the DIGITAL UNIX, and 
    Windows NT platforms already supported by BEA.  All of DIGITAL's 
    platforms will be first-tier ports for BEA's products. 
    
         To further underscore the importance of this partnership, 
    DIGITAL will assume an equity position in BEA, and will make a 
    direct engineering development investment in ObjectBroker and 
    DECmessageQ on DIGITAL Alpha platforms.  
    
         DIGITAL also will continue to develop underlying distributed 
    systems software, provide interoperability between the joint 
    DIGITAL/BEA work and corresponding Microsoft Corporation 
    technologies, and optimize these products on DIGITAL's  UNIX, 
    OpenVMS, and Windows NT platforms.  In addition, both companies will 
    expand marketing, sales, and distribution of BEA TUXEDO, 
    ObjectBroker, and DECmessageQ.  
    
         This arrangement expands the multi-platform offering for these 
    products, and ensures their continued individual availability and 
    evolution for existing and future customers.
    
         The fundamental technologies required for creating and 
    integrating distributed business applications across the enterprise 
    or over the Internet include transaction processing, object-based, 
    and message-oriented solutions.  Today, organizations developing and 
    deploying mission-critical systems find that no single middleware 
    technology addresses their complete enterprise application needs.  
    
         This extended partnership directly addresses these requirements 
    for a simplified enterprise application environment by bringing BEA 
    TUXEDO, ObjectBroker, and DECmessageQ together so that DIGITAL and 
    BEA are now delivering the full range of required middleware 
    functionality for solving complex business application needs.
    
         "The partnership between DIGITAL and BEA indicates the strong, 
    continuing commitment these two companies have to these 
    technologies," said Alex Seale, project manager of Credit Risk 
    Management System at Banque Paribas in London. "Their integrated 
    middleware vision lays out a powerful direction for ObjectBroker, 
    DECmessageQ, and BEATUXEDO -- one that we can take as a serious 
    commitment to supporting my company's success."
    
         "The partnership between BEA and DIGITAL comes at a critical 
    time in the evolving marriage between legacy systems, the Internet, 
    and the explosion of distributed object computing," said Christopher 
    Stone, CEO, Object Management Group. "A robust object-based 
    transaction model (BEA TUXEDO), coupled with DIGITAL's ObjectBroker 
    (CORBA/IIOP) and DECmessageQ, sends a clear message to the financial 
    services and transaction-oriented enterprises that they mean serious 
    business. This was a smart, savvy move, and a partnership to bet the 
    bank on."
    
         "The technology collaboration between BEA and Digital will 
    yield a portfolio of mission-critical middleware that takes full 
    advantage of Network Computing Architecture (NCA)," said Mark 
    Jarvis, vice president, Server Marketing, Oracle Corporation.  
    "DIGITAL and BEA are both long-time partners of Oracle's, and we 
    look forward to working with both companies as they implement this 
    strategy."
    
         Don Harbert, vice president, UNIX Business Segment, Digital 
    Equipment Corporation, said, "This extended partnership with BEA 
    significantly strengthens our mutual commitment to supply our 
    customers with the best multi-platform middleware products in the 
    market today.  BEA now becomes our premier partner in developing 
    multi-platform enterprise middleware for UNIX, OpenVMS, and other 
    heterogeneous environments."
    
         Bill Coleman, chairman and CEO of BEA Systems, Inc., said, 
    "This announcement marks the further execution of our original 
    mission - to provide an enterprise middleware infrastructure for 
    distributed mission-critical applications. By combining the 
    scalability and application management functionality of BEA TUXEDO 
    with robust message queuing middleware and an enterprise-class ORB 
    (Object Request Broker), we can provide our customers with a single, 
    integrated product suite that addresses all of their middleware 
    requirements.  We are pleased to be working closely with DIGITAL to 
    make this solution available to the market."
    
         BEA Systems, Inc. is a leading provider of cross-platform 
    middleware solutions for enterprise applications.  BEA's products 
    enable mission-critical, distributed applications that work 
    seamlessly in client/server, Internet, and legacy environments.  BEA
