The new METAspectrum evaluation is designed to provide an objective assessment of portal products that can provide a set of infrastructure services needed to produce personalised, contextual Web sites intended for use across an entire company, including all types and levels of employees, as well as partners, suppliers and customers.
BEA was positioned in the leader segment of the enterprise portal framework METAspectrum analysis, and was specifically recognised for its agility in responding to market needs, its channel and partner programme, as well as its excellent development and security features.
"We are pleased by our favourable rating in the METAspectrum," said Wai Wong, executive vice-president, products organisation, BEA Systems. "Our customers are investing in technology that is designed to help them drive complexity out of their IT environments and rationalise their existing software infrastructure.

We`re pleased that we are being recognised and commended for our efforts."
"The METAspectrum evaluation highlights the strength of BEA WebLogic Portal," said Nicholas Cadenhead, Systems Specialist with BEA Solutions Africa. "Furthermore, it demonstrates BEA Systems` commitment to deliver superior, innovative software to our customers."
BEA WebLogic Portal is designed to leverage a unified architecture with BEA WebLogic Platform in order to help ease portal development, integration, customisation and deployment. BEA enables their customers to focus on using IT to increase collaboration and manage business processes by providing a platform designed for building enterprise portals that can aggregate, organise and present information from multiple back-end systems.
"We developed METAspectrum to help enable IT professionals to more quickly evaluate vendors based on their ability to deliver on the presence and performance criteria that matter most in a given market," said Craig Roth, Vice-President, META Group. "As the portal market has matured and vendors have become more stable, new buyers have emerged, seeking not only lower prices, but also security, easy-to-use administration, lower total cost of ownership and a strong vision to continue building and improving the product. We believe that only vendors that have strong focus and dedication as well as remaining agile and responsive to changing demands can succeed."
