SandCherry, Inc., a provider of multi-service broker software for extending applications to phone, mobile, and multimodal devices, today announced that the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform(TM) leverages SandCherry's AppDev(TM) VXML and SoftServer(TM) platform, designed to provide a simple and cost-effective way to incorporate advanced speech capabilities into Web applications.

(NASDAQ: BEAS), the world's leading application infrastructure software company.

SandCherry's AppDev VXML is designed to seamlessly integrate with BEA WebLogic Workshop(TM) and allow service providers and enterprises to simplify the development and integration of converged applications for Web and phone users.
