Builds portals
to sustain rapid growth while lowering costs
"We
chose Sun and BEA because they are true technology partners, not
just vendors. They are the basis for the scalable, reliable J2EE
enterprise infrastructure we are basing our business on for the
next ten years. This infrastructure has enabled us to deploy applications
and portals to serve our customers, investors, employees, and partners
better. Sun and BEA are a winning combination for us by giving us
a lower total cost of ownership by providing superior technology,
service, and support."

Edition (J2EE) framework in order to bring on clients faster, lower
the cost per transaction, enable rapid application development,
and increase business agility.
