Oracle Strikes Deal to Buy BEA Systems for $8.5 Billion - Wall Street Journal

Oracle Strikes Deal to Buy BEA Systems for $8.5 Billion - Wall Street Journal
Excerpt:
"Oracle Corp. said it will acquire BEA Systems Inc. in an $8.5 billion deal three months after BEA slapped away an Oracle takeover offer as too low.

The deal furthers Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison's push to consolidate the business-software industry around his company. In the past four years, he has spent billions swallowing smaller rivals, including PeopleSoft and Siebel Systems."
