| Fort Worth, Texas — September 15, 2003 —
Newview Technologies, the leading provider of raw material
specification and procurement solutions, announced today
the availability of Newview's SupplyNetwork product
certified on the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform™.
The new offering provides scalability and Web services
standards that make it easier to launch comprehensive
multi-enterprise processes and supplier networks.
Today's announcement supports the recent availability
of BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1, an integrated platform
that provides superior business integration
through the convergence of application development
and integration, from BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS),
the world's leading application infrastructure
software company.
Newview helps leading industrial sector companies identify
and realize significant reductions in direct material
costs with a more effective flow of information between
product development, procurement and with suppliers. Together,
Newview and BEA can provide customers the ability to
organize and compare material content of parts, and then
automate sourcing and procurement transactions with
large-scale supplier networks. Customers who adopt the new
combined offering can benefit from Newview's business
features - such as the ability to compare materials, manage
complex pricing agreements or coordinate transactions
with suppliers - delivered with packaged integration and
web services standards. Additionally, Newview and BEA
are working together to develop a next generation User
Interface architecture for Newview's solutions that
leverages the portal standards delivered with
BEA WebLogic Portal™.
"The BEA partnership signifies an important advancement
for Newview's architecture," says Paul C. Strzelec,
Vice President of Newview. "Newview will continue
the effort to combine market leading technical innovation,
such as Web services standards delivered by BEA, with our
focus on packaging pragmatic solutions for the industrial
sector that address direct material and other significant
cost burdens."
"Newview has delivered an important solution for the industrial
sector that combines an engineer's specification of material
attributes with the commercial attributes and transaction
support of procurement", said Scott Edgington, vice president
and general manager, global software partners, BEA Systems.
"Companies can now take advantage of these capabilities
deployed on the scale and standards available with BEA
