MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – June 25, 2002 - Alphablox Corporation, a leading provider of business analytic software and services, announced today that it leverages BEA Systems’ (Nasdaq: BEAS) BEA WebLogic Platform 7.0™ to rapidly develop and broadly deploy critical business analytic solutions designed to improve operational business performance. Today’s announcement supports the general availability of the BEA WebLogic Platform 7.0 ™, the industry’s first unified application infrastructure platform.

"We are committed to extending BEA’s vision for a unified software platform which will enable the next generation of rich e-business and portal applications," said Polly Sumner, president and chief executive officer of Alphablox. "BEA and Alphablox recognize the power and necessity of seamlessly integrated business analytics that are highly scalable, extensible, and easy-to-use, enabling companies to make real-time decisions, optimize efficiency, and benefit from enhanced bottom-line results."

Together, BEA and Alphablox now offer a comprehensive solution that tightly integrates Alphablox 4 with BEA WebLogic. For the first time, customers can leverage the power of the analytics by integrating personalized information and analytics directly into the business applications powered by BEA. Alphablox and BEA joint solutions – broadly deployed inside the enterprise via intranets, and outside the company via extranet applications – enable global organizations to optimize business performance by delivering relevant business information to the right people at critical points of decision.

Alphablox provides a completely open, extensible, and integrated J2EE-based platform that fully exploits and extends the native services in the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform. Traditional business intelligence tools provide limited access to application server and portal functionality, requiring the maintenance of separate administration and security services and support of a proprietary tool or API interface. In contrast, Alphablox solutions natively exploit foundation application services, enabling the delivery of highly scalable and functionally rich, personalized analytic applications with much lower total cost of ownership.

"This joint effort illustrates the commitment of Alphablox and BEA to provide innovative, rich solutions for e-business initiatives," said Scott Edgington, vice president and general manager, global software partners, BEA Systems, Inc. "Alphablox provides a truly unique approach to exploiting the power of the BEA Weblogic Platform to enable customers to quickly extend their application infrastructure to deliver relevant and personalized intelligence within their own customized applications."

As a BEA Star Partner and BEA Portal Star Solution, Alphablox has a strong partnership with BEA. The companies are working together to promote their joint solutions in the marketplace.

Alphablox Corporation provides enterprise infrastructure software and services for rapidly assembling and broadly deploying customized analytic applications. Alphablox-based solutions help Global 2000 organizations gain improved visibility into business operations and optimize business performance by maximizing the value of their corporate information assets.

Alphablox 4, the company's flagship product, extends commercially available application servers with components and services required to deliver robust, easy-to-use analytic solutions. Based on industry standards, the Alphablox platform seamlessly integrates with existing IT infrastructure, offers unlimited flexibility, and scales from small workgroups to thousands of users.
