Technology Consulting by Platform

They launched the business in 1995 by acquiring Information Management and Independence Technologies.

These firms were the largest resellers of Tuxedo, a distributed transaction management system sold by Novell. They soon acquired the Tuxedo product itself. BEA went on to acquire other middleware companies and products, including ObjectBroker and NCR’s Top End product.

In 1998, BEA acquired the San Francisco start-up WebLogic, which was among the first to implement Sun Microsystems’ J2EE specification. WebLogic’s re-branded server formed the basis of BEA’s WebLogic application server sold today.

On November 3, 2005 BEA Systems announced the acquisition of SolarMetric, editors of the Kodo persistence engine. The acquisitions continued in 2006 with Fuego, a business process management (BPM) software company, and Flashline, a metadata repository company.

BluEnt can help you step up to challenges through value-driven initiatives, delivering solutions compliant with your business objectives, time frames and budgets. We help you:

• Ensure that the underlying data upon which business information and transactions are based are accurate and consistent across all repositories.

• Effectively administer the content and structure of those repositories.

• Make the right information and services available to the right people and prevent the wrong people from gaining access to them.

Similar to other Java Community Process specifications, Java EE is also considered informally to be a standard. This is because providers must agree to certain conformance requirements to declare their products as Java EE compliant, albeit with no ISO or ECMA standard.

Java EE includes several API specifications, such as JDBC, RMI, e-mail, JMS, web services, and XML, and defines how to coordinate them. It also features some specifications unique to Java EE for components. These include Enterprise Java Beans, servlets, portlets (following the Java Portlet specification), JavaServer Pages and several web service technologies.

This allows the developer to create an enterprise application that is portable between platforms and scalable, while integrating with legacy technologies.

Other added bonuses are, for example, that the application server can handle the transactions, security, scalability, concurrency and management of the components that are deployed to it. This means that the developers can concentrate more on the business logic of the components rather than maintenance tasks.

PeopleSoft, Inc. was a software company that provided HRMS (human resource management), CRM (customer relationship management), Manufacturing, Financials, EPM (enterprise performance management) and Student Administration software solutions to large corporations, governments, and organizations.

Founded in 1987 by David Duffield and Ken Morris, and headquartered in Pleasanton, California, PeopleSoft began with an idea Duffield had about a “Client-Server” (then a new concept) version of Integral Systems’s popular mainframe HRMS package.

Once Integral declined development and released Duffield to pursue this endeavor on his own, PeopleSoft was born. In 2003, when PeopleSoft acquired J.D. Edwards, it decided to differentiate its former product line from those of Edwards by renaming both products.

PeopleSoft’s original flagship product was rebranded as PeopleSoft Enterprise. J.D. Edwards’ ERP product was rebranded as PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne. In January 2005, PeopleSoft was acquired in a hostile takeover by the Oracle Corporation.

This takeover was resisted by PeopleSoft, but Oracle overcame the legal challenge. After the approved merger, PeopleSoft ceased to be an independent company, although its products continue to be used by thousands of companies.

Beginning in 2003, PeopleSoft battled with Oracle over control of the PeopleSoft company. In June 2003, Oracle made a $7 billion bid ($19.50/share) in a hostile corporate takeover attempt.

In February 2004, Oracle increased their bid to approximately $9.4 billion ($26/share), a 33% increase; this offer was also rejected forthwith by PeopleSoft’s board of directors.

Later that month, the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit to block Oracle, on the grounds that the acquisition would break anti-trust laws.

However, in September 2004, the suit was rejected by a U.S. Federal judge, who found that the justice department had not proven its anti-trust case. In October, the same decision was handed down by the European Commission.

Though Oracle had reduced its offer to $7.7 billion ($21/share) in May, it again raised its bid in November to $9.4 billion ($24/share), marking a 14% increase.

In December 2004, Oracle announced that it signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire PeopleSoft for approximately $10.3 billion ($26.50/share). In January 2005, Oracle fired a large number of former PeopleSoft employees.

Although these cuts affected about 9% of the 55,000 staff of the combined companies, they stated that they would maintain at least 90% of PeopleSoft’s product development and support staff, at least for the time being.
