Friday March 24, 2006 We did it!! (Ok, we are just getting started, but this is BIG)
If you have read my blog before - much of it is about broad changes taking place in the consumer technology space. But every once in a while I have to talk about things near and dear
to my day job. And this is one of those times.
On August 25, 2005 Sun Microsystems acquired SeeBeyond, a pioneer in the integration and composite application space.
At that time, we announced the Sun Java Integration Suite as a part of the Sun Java Enterprise System. This was the renaming of the existing ICAN 5.0.5 suite that SeeBeyond had been selling. We also announced a number of other things related to the future of the Java Integration Suite, including continued and additional platform support, the commitment to publish a roadmap, plans to integrate more tightly with other Sun products and so on. And we made a commitment to deliver the next release (5.1) as per the original SeeBeyond schedule - Q1CY06. That is, we would not slip as a result of the acquisition!.
I am very very proud to say that we have delivered on that promise and much more with the release of Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite 5.1, the Sun Java ESB Suite 5.1 and the Sun Java B2B Suite 5.1!
We not only delivered 5.1 on time, but we created new suites that combine technology and products from both SeeBeyond and Sun into the most complete SOA based composite application platform in the industry. Where the Java Integration Suite was the SeeBeyond products and technologies, the new suites are this and more, delivering a much broader set of capabilities, packaged up to align with the business needs of our customers.
I have to gloat on my folks a bit. If any of you have been through an acquisition, it is not easy. There are lots of distractions. There are new job titles, different compensation and benefits, new management, different tools and different processes. The list is endless!
But through all of this - the team stayed focused and has delivered the best release yet. Here are some of the features added to what is already the best business integration and composite application platform in the industry.

Congratulations, Dale. Off and running. Hope the Hyderabad team are enjoying this.
And on the question of your Treo (since comments are now closed on that blog entry), have you updated the firmware to the latest version? Check the Palm site for the upgrade that corresponds to your carrier and Treo version. Since I updated (which is a fiddly business), things are much more stable: I've only had one reboot in three weeks now, with heavy web and email usage.
