Did you know? Integration projects consume an inordinate proportion of information technology budgets - nearly 70% of software spending, according to some analysts.
Integrating software applications is difficult because businesses have traditionally relied on proprietary integration technologies that require a tremendous amount of custom work specific to each implementation. The initial integration expense is therefore large, and when changes are made to any part of the enterprise, the integration work has to be redone.
BEA Systems can offer a better, more cost-effective way. The open, independent design approach of BEA WebLogic allows the company to work with a broad range of partners and offer customers highly interoperable solutions that deliver faster time to value.
As an example of joint development work, BEA is able to utilise and deliver a 100% import tool. The importer allows BEA to automate the delivery of Siebel Business Integration Applications to BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1 customers without any custom software coding for faster time to value. In addition, BEA WebLogic Integration 8.1 customers can leverage one development tool to customise and extend Siebel Business Integration Applications, as well as applications built using BEA WebLogic Portal 8.1 and BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.
Siebel Business Integration Applications are packaged software that integrates business processes across disparate applications and are part of Universal Application Network (UAN), which is a standards-based, vendor-independent integration solution led by Siebel Systems and supported by the world`s leading technology companies. With packaged, industry-specific business integration processes deployed on BEA WebLogic Integration 8.1, UAN can help organisations integrate a diverse environment of packaged, legacy, and custom applications without custom programming, which can dramatically lower cost, complexity, risk, and time to deployment.
