Forrester recently named BEA an enterprise service bus market leader in its recent report entitled, "The Enterprise Service Bus: The Forrester Wave™ Product Evaluation, Q2 2006."

BEA was named a leader in the enterprise service bus (ESB) space. Forrester defines an ESB as "an intermediary that makes a set of reusable business services widely available." According to the report, "the total value of the BEA solution is most compelling when the customer uses multiple BEA products to provide a complete SOA environment. Organizations seeking high-end ESBs will find the combination of ALSB and WLI to be a powerful, yet flexible, alternative for supporting their efforts to implement SOA - even where other platforms also need to be accommodated."

"Being recognized as an ESB leader by Forrester is further testament to our technology, vision and innovation," said Tony de la Lama, BEA vice president, Integration Products. "Companies are always looking to speed services deployment and simplify service-oriented architecture management while enhancing existing investments in heterogeneous environments. BEA's AquaLogic Service Bus is designed to provide our customers with those capabilities."
