Case Study: BEA Systems achieves multi-platform, localized single-installer deployment with Flexera's InstallAnywhere

BEA Creates Easy-to-Install Software with InstallAnywhere

BEA Systems, a leading e-business infrastructure software company serving more than 10,000 customers with products like WebLogic Server, faced inefficient, costly deployment across numerous platforms (AIX, HP‑UX, Linux, Solaris, Tru64, Windows NT/2000). They had been using a Windows‑only installer and a simple .jar on UNIX, which consumed valuable developer time and lacked robust console/silent install and localization support.

Standardizing on InstallAnywhere let BEA deliver a single installer that runs in GUI, console and silent modes across all platforms and includes built‑in support for 29 languages, making localization fast and routine. The result was reduced development effort, seamless multi‑platform deployment, and better support for BEA’s anytime/anywhere distribution model.
