As more businesses go online, BEA Systems Inc. is gaining recognition as one of the Internet's leading plumbers.

The software developer works in the middle layers of corporate computing, tying back-office systems to Web sites. The programs BEA creates are referred to as application servers. That's because they tie servers, where most "heavy lifting" of business computing is done, with specific applications that end users need.

Many analysts see BEA as the clear leader in application servers, but it's challenged by IBM Corp. Linux and other open-source developers also are making moves in the so-called middleware market.

To discuss what's taking place in the middle of business-to-business computing, Investor's Business Daily recently spoke with Bill Coleman, BEA's co-founder and chief executive.

IBD: How tough is the business climate?

Coleman: It's back to basics. Customers are buying only things that bring them value today. They are not investing for future payback. Companies have to focus on the basics of their business and on bringing customers solutions that help them today.
