A lot of speculation about the fate of BPM and other BEA goodies after what Sandy calls “the Borg” has its way with them.  Oracle will reveal all in a public webcast on July 1 at 9am PT/noon ET.  To the analysts they wrote:

On July 1st at Noon EDT/9:00 am PDT/5:00 pm in London, as part of the “Welcome BEA and Middleware Strategy Briefing” webcast,  Charles Phillips and Thomas Kurian will explain how the addition of BEA products to Oracle Fusion Middleware will create a best-in-class combination.    Public registration is open here.  You can register for yourself and invite your clients to do so too. The webcast will also be available on demand after the event.

Given all the snark to date, I think it’s smart for Oracle to let the people hear it direct from the Borg itself.  And my AR friend Avi there promises that, contrary to my speculation, they do know how to spell BPM.

Glad to hear it!
