“While the merger seems to be good for existing customers,” Dennis Gaughan, Research Director at the Boston-based AMR Research says, “Companies reflecting a new middleware investment in either Oracle or BEA may find themselves navigating a maze of product overlaps and partially finished integration efforts.”
An industry analyst at RedMonk.com finds that the BEA middleware products Oracle has bought will likely appeal to telecommunications firms that Oracle has struggled to win over in the past. There are also speculations that it will take years for Oracle to have a middleware stack that incorporates BEA’s values.
