BEA Teams With SeeItFirst To Leverage Streaming Media For Training And Communications Programs
BEA Enters Agreement To Use SeeItFirst Now! With Enhanced Features For CD Creation And Presentations
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2001-- SeeItFirst, a leading provider of interactive streaming video products and services, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAS - news), one of the world`s leading e-business infrastructure software companies, to provide encoding and hosting services for a broad array of e-training and corporate communications programs. The agreement provides for BEA to use SeeItFirst Now!(TM), an interactive video-on-demand solution, to develop Web-based product marketing, field communications and sales training applications. The use of interactive streaming media for BEA`s in-house training and communications programs is designed to help the company reduce costs when compared to traditional training methods.

``To maximize the business benefit of streaming media requires a technology infrastructure that reliably and scalably supports interactivity,`` said John Parker, senior analyst with the Aberdeen Group, a technology research and consulting firm in Boston. ``SeeItFirst has been an innovator in platform development for interactivity. This agreement with BEA shows how e-learning has become a killer app for streaming, particularly among technology companies whose product lines and channel strategies are in constant flux.``

BEA is one of the world`s leading e-business infrastructure software companies with over 9,400 customers around the world. ``We tested SeeItFirst Now! in a pilot project to train our technical sales people, partners, and potential customers about BEA WebLogic Server,`` said Peter Tait, director of Internet Marketing. ``We wanted to get the work done quickly, but not at the expense of audience retention or quality of messages. SeeItFirst Now! gave us the interactivity and streaming video to keep our audience engaged and a platform that was cost-effective for our training budget. That`s why we selected SeeItFirst for our on-going training needs.``

SeeItFirst Now! Enhanced

SeeItFirst Now! offers a Stream-CD feature that allows content owners to create an interactive streaming media session on a CDROM by including top level Web pages, images and other content synchronized to the streaming video. This allows viewers, without an Internet connection, to experience the same highly interactive streaming session, using popular media players, as if they were connected to the Web. In addition, if the CDROM is used on a computer connected to the Internet, incorporated links will connect to the current live URL.

``Our Stream-CD feature can make it easier for BEA, and all our customers, to create a virtual streaming media session on a CDROM by making interactive content accessible in more ways than just the Internet,`` said Zack Clark director of Product Marketing at SeeItFirst. ``It`s a great idea for a business traveler to step through a training program, using a CDROM, while sitting on an airplane where there is no Internet connection.``

SeeItFirst has also automated the process of synchronizing PowerPoint presentations with both archived and live streaming video. Presentations can easily be converted and sent to the application platform to readily serve PowerPoint slide GIFS -- eliminating the need to ``cut and paste`` the presentation into the streaming session. This benefits those with minimal production experience to easily add presentation slides to supplement a streaming video e-training application, and because the process is automated, updating slides with interactive VoD content is now much easier.

About SeeItFirst

SeeItFirst(TM) (http://www.seeitfirst.com) is a leading provider of interactive streaming media solutions and services that deliver interactivity anytime, anywhere. The company offers licensed products, professional services and fully outsourced solutions for interactive video-on-demand and interactive webcasts.

hier die begründung für den heutigen kurssturz: nur eine abstufung, also nichts besonderes:

BEA shares plunge on analyst`s concerns
NEW YORK, May 4 (Reuters) - Shares of software maker BEA Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:BEAS - news) on Friday slumped more than 10 percent after Deutsche Banc Alex Brown analyst Jim Moore issued a cautious outlook on the company past the first quarter.



At midday, shares of BEA were off $4.11 to $35.75. The shares were among the most actively traded on the Nasdaq and among its top three net losers.

Moore said he was concerned that several factors may hurt the company`s high share price valuation.

``Valuation is still our major concern, and we urge investors to be selective in timing,`` Moore wrote in a research note.

Moore said he was comfortable that BEA, which makes software used as a foundation for program building, would meet or slightly beat his estimate for the company`s income of $253 million, or 7 cents a share, when the company announces its fiscal first-quarter results on May 17.

However, he said he has learned the company may be cutting sales quotas and that only about half of its force met their sales quotas for the first quarter.

He also said he is concerned that BEA`s components business, which makes up 15 percent of its revenues, was down 40 percent in the April quarter. Additionally, Moore wrote that any slowdown in new applications development projects, especially in the high-tech, financial or telecommunications sectors, would cloud visibility into future quarters.

Finally, Giga Information Group said IBM is gaining ground, with BEA`s market share rising to 35 percent from 32 percent, while International Business Machines Corp.`s (NYSE:IBM - news) share nearly doubled to 30 percent from 16 percent, according to the research and consultant firm`s survey of 52 customers. BEA and IBM are the leaders in what Moore estimates to be a $1.64 billion market.

IBM`s rise may signal the competitive landscape is heating up. Still, BEA is scheduled to unveil some new products during the summer, which could open new opportunities in the growing portal market, Moore said.

Bea Systems wird durch Dain Rauscher von Strong Buy Aggressive auf Buy Aggressive herabgestuft. Gründe seien u.a. die Verlängerung der Absatzzyklen, ein möglicher Nachfrageschwund aus Europa, kleinere Auftragsvolumen und zukünftig erhöhter Wettbewerbsdruck.

Hier habe ich 3 Fragen:
1. Was haltet Ihr von GodmodeTrader?
2. Wer ist CIBC?
3. und vor allem:
wann kommen morgen die BEAS-Quartalszahlen
nach MEZ? Nach den letzten Zahlen ist BEAS trotz guter Zahlen leider schlagartig gefallen.

:-) Vielen Dank!
