BEA names new CTO

TAGS: Platforms

BEA Systems on Thursday named Rob Levy its chief technology officer, replacing Mark Carges, who becomes executive vice president in charge of the company's Business Interaction Division.

Levy joins BEA from Computer Associates, where he had been senior vice president and chief technology strategist responsible for driving CA's global technology strategy. At BEA, he will lead efforts to incubate new technology areas and foster the company's commitment to innovation and open standards, according to BEA. He will report to Wai Wong, executive vice president of products at BEA.

Carges, a nine-year BEA veteran who will report to BEA CEO Alfred Chuang, will lead the Business Interaction Division's focus on the company's AquaLogic brand. This division will emphasize enterprise portals, collaboration, and composite applications.

BEA also said its recently acquired Plumtree products have been rebranded the AquaLogic User Interaction suite of products.

"Portals are becoming a key integration point for the service-enabled enterprise," Chuang said in a prepared statement released by BEA. "With our acquisition of Plumtree and appointment of Mark to run this new division, BEA leads the market for multi-platform, transactional and collaborative portals. Standalone software stacks will be increasingly replaced by portals that access modular software components linked via SOA for a more personal user experience."
