NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Kevin Faulkner, the VP of Marketing and Investor Relations at BEA Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAS), begins the interview with his vision for the direction of the market demands in the technology sector, with a special focus on web-based computer systems. Turning to the recent RedHat Partnership, we examine the range of operating systems that BEA Systems uses and how the new LINUX enabling technology from RedHat will allow a greater range of customers to be targeted.
Having discussed the range of customers and sectors served, we move on to ask why the Company has chosen RedHat for their LINUX sector partnership over other companies in the sector. We then focus on demand in the software sector and the balance of progress levels in the project lifecycles. Mr. Faulkner explains why he thinks that his custom market is stronger than industry average expectations and backs up his anticipations.
The R&D vs. maintaining cash reserves conundrum is discussed along with the little known Moore's Second Law. This is enlarged to explain how the company will be increasing their product lines and increasing the ease of use in their product areas.
We move to a global outlook and the forces at work in the "Eastern" Markets that are driving growth at a faster rate than is currently being seen in the U.S. This leads into mergers and acquisitions in terms of size that the company prefers before we look into the partnership network that BEA Systems is using to compete with much larger companies like IBM
