Service Infrastructure Helps Move Customers' Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) Efforts from Pilot to Production

Dublin, Ireland, June 9, 2005 - MobileAware, a leading provider of mobile business solutions, today announced its support for a new Service Infrastructure product strategy introduced by BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS). Developed to help increase business agility while reducing IT cost and complexity, the Service Infrastructure products from BEA help companies manage the service-oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle and swiftly assemble composite applications and processes in heterogeneous environment. BEA Service Infrastructure product family is designed to help companies make the transition from pilot to full enterprise-wide production of their SOA.

SOA is a software design approach that takes the discrete business functions contained in enterprise applications and organizes them into interoperable, standards-based services. These services can be combined and reused in composite applications and processes to meet business needs. Service infrastructure is a new category of enterprise software designed to help enable the successful deployment of SOA in business environments by allowing services to be discovered, secured, managed and assembled into composite applications and processes - regardless of the underlying technology.

"MobileAware is pleased to be working with an innovator such as BEA to help our customers extend web services to their mobile customers, partners and employees," said Brian Kinane, Executive Vice President at MobileAware. "With the vision of Service Infrastructure, we feel BEA has truly established a new paradigm for how advanced IT architecture can enhance commercial business solutions."

Our alliance with MobileAware is part of BEA's initiative designed to continually help customers manage SOA based environments and improve business agility and efficiency," said Gail Ennis, vice president of Worldwide Alliances. "A specialist like MobileAware adds leading-edge functionality to our Service Infrastructure product set, enabling us to meet today the current as well as future needs of our customers."

Service Infrastructure Helps Move SOA from Pilot to Production
Customers gravitate to SOA's modularity and flexibility, which is designed to help them to mix and match IT resources in a "virtual" infrastructure that is integrated while not being locked into a single vendor's IT stack. SOA also reflects a move from thinking about IT in an "application" context to thinking about IT as a "services" delivery business - helping to enable IT departments to create, assemble and deliver new services more quickly for use by employees, customers, partners and suppliers. As a new approach to enterprise IT implementation and application development, SOA can break down business applications and features into "services" - specific pieces of functionality - which can be efficiently built, combined, adapted and reused.

Most customers to date are using their application infrastructure software (application servers, integration servers, development tools and portal software) to build and deploy their early SOA projects. As SOA moves from pilot to production, companies have found that they need new infrastructure that is designed to help them to quickly compose, deliver, configure and manage these services. Customers typically encounter this once they have built and deployed more than 50 services, which can result in a "services sprawl" that requires constant integration and can be difficult to scale. They also need new composition tools that work like an "assembly line" for building cars, in addition to traditional coding tools they used for "building car parts." Service infrastructure is a new category of enterprise software designed to help enable businesses compose, configure and reuse technology assets to meet business needs in a more assembly line model.
