September 25, 2002 AtHoc, Inc, a leading
provider of enterprise communication and alerting
software, today announced that it has joined the
growing list of companies in the Star Partner Program
of BEA Systems, Inc., one of the worlds leading
e-business infrastructure software companies. The
AtHoc Active Portal is a BEA-ready solution
proven to maximize enterprise portal ROI by accelerating
the adoption and increasing the usage of portal-based
enterprise applications and services.
AtHocs
solution is a valuable addition to any enterprise
portal, and therefore we are excited to have AtHoc
as a member of the BEA Star Partner program,
explains Robert Duffner, Director of Product Marketing
at BEA Systems. We are actually using AtHocs
software for our sales and marketing portal because
it allows us to be pro-active in getting important
information and resources to the sales force through
powerful alerting capabilities. At-Hoc delivers
unquestioned productivity gains and ROI as direct
result of integrating the AtHoc software.
With
the implementation of AtHoc, BEAs product
marketing team can now instantly alert its field
sales reps with breaking news and the latest product
information without requiring the employee to
first return to the corporate intranet in order
to view the information. This alerting process
saves significant time and enables the sales rep
to more rapidly respond to market changes.
The
AtHoc Active Portal suite comprises Enterprise
Alerts, Portal Toolbar and a Management System.
Collectively, these products give companies the
ability to trigger timely response to critical
events even when users are away from the portal.
The AtHoc software enables organizations to substantially
increase employee productivity levels, improve
user satisfaction with the e-business applications
and facilitate greater communication and knowledge
transfer throughout the organization.
We
are excited to extend the value of BEAs
WebLogic products by making the resources from
enterpise portal quicker to find and more valuable
for everyone. said Ly Tran, co-founder and
Vice President of Business Development at AtHoc.
The enterprise portal has become an important
medium for conducting business in todays
business environment. Yet, in many cases, the
potential value of the portal is not fully realized
because usage and adoption remain low. Our software
addresses this fundamental problem, and we are
delighted to have BEA validate our solution as
a customer as well as a technology partner.
As
a member of the BEA Star Partner program, AtHoc
will receive an array of benefits in marketing,
sales, training, education, and technical development.
BEA Star members are systems integrators, independent
software vendors and application service providers
building e-business solutions on the BEA WebLogic
E-Business Platform to help make their customers
Internet-ready and future-proof.
