BEA Systems and BroadSoft, have announced a broad-ranging strategic alliance that includes joint development, sales, and marketing of solutions that will integrate the BroadSoft BroadWorks® suite of VoIP applications with the BEA WebLogic Communications Platform product family. The BEA-BroadSoft partnership is a multi-year, multi-phased strategic alliance. Under the alliance, the two companies are conducting joint sales and marketing efforts, and BroadSoft has already begun to integrate and port the BroadWorks software platform with BEA WebLogic SIP Server. BEA and BroadSoft are teaming up to provide service providers the ability to offer industry-leading applications over an innovative, standards-based platform. The combination of BroadWorks software and BEA WebLogic SIP Server—a converged Java EE-SIP-IMS application server—will enable service providers to deploy revenue-generating services with a rich set of VoIP capabilities. It will also be designed to provide a flexible and extensible architecture that will work in an all-IP and IMS environment in the future.
