BANGALORE:Enterprise infrastructure software solutions provider BEA Systems plans to double the headcount at its R&D center in Bangalore over the next one year, according to Shailender Kumar, country head for BEA.
The R&D center at present has around 180 engineers.
BEA also runs a customer support center in Bangalore with around 60 people.
The India R&D center, one of the six centers of BEA worldwide, has actively contributed to the development of the company's product lines such as Weblogic and Aqua Logic, Kumar said.
BEA unveiled its new brand identity `Think liquid' and outlined its `Liquid Assets' vision in the country.
The company also announced its new AquaLogic product family in the country to address the emerging enterprise software category.
`Think liquid' reflects BEA's importance as an independent provider of enterprise infrastructure software that enables free flow of information, businesses processes and services within and across boundaries, said Ernest Chan, head of products for Asia Pacific, BEA.
BEA's new vision aims to help companies free their previously isolated or frozen IT assets so that they become liquid assets that combine the power of software applications and the Internet, across both .Net and Java platforms, he said.
