Oracle has recently purchased BEA systems for 8.5 billion USD. One of the reasons that I think could be behind the motive of this purchase is that they wanted to get hold of the large customer base that BEA had. This will also help Oracle to compete with IBM tightly in the middle-ware space.
This move also helps Oracle's customers to move into a subscriber based model. Oracle claims that the vision of the acquisition is expected to accelerate innovation by bringing together two companies with a common vision of a modern service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure and will further increase the value that Oracle delivers to its customers and partners.
Oracle has eliminated a strong commercial rival and forayed itself into into the enterprise middle-ware market edging to be the market leader.
