Oracle plans to hold a Webcast to welcome BEA into the Oracle fold and discuss the integration of BEA’s products into the Oracle middleware lineup. The Webcast will be held July 1 and feature key Oracle executives.

The official Oracle invite said: “Join Oracle executives Charles Phillips, President, and Thomas Kurian, Senior Vice President, Oracle Server Technologies Development, for an informative briefing that will explore how the addition of BEA products to Oracle Fusion Middleware creates a best-in-class combination, advances a common vision, and reinforces Oracle’s middleware strategy.”

Oracle announced its acquisition of BEA Systems on Jan. 16 of this year.

You can register for the Webcast on Oracle’s site.
