BEA and CA announce strategic partnership For identity and access management

BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAS) and CA, Inc. (NYSE: CA) today announced a partnership to further streamline and simplify identity and access management (IAM) across the enterprise—jointly helping customers reduce IT costs and improve performance by combining best-of-breed Web single sign-on, user management, and SOA Infrastructure.

BEA has chosen to strategically partner with CA for IAM, with integration across the AquaLogic and WebLogic product families to CA’s leading IAM technology, specifically CA SiteMinder and CA Identity Manager. The two companies will validate the existing integrations and collaborate to extend the integrations for their joint customers. In addition, CA has chosen BEA’s award-winning WebLogic Server as the application server for CA’s IAM technology where it plans to make additional investment to extend current integration between the product lines to drive improved performance.

“Identity and Access Management is critical within SOA as applications become increasingly distributed,” said Wai Wong, executive vice president, products at BEA Systems. “CA and BEA together can enable customers to benefit from reduced administration costs of their security architectures, as well as provide increased IT efficiency and better business agility through their application and SOA infrastructure.”
