JackBe Announces Spring 2009 Edition of Industry-Leading Enterprise Mashup Platform

Presto 2.7 release delivers easier and safer enterprise mashup capabilities

Chevy Chase, MD - June 8, 2009 - JackBe, the leading provider of enterprise mashup software, announced today the general availability of Presto 2.7, the Spring 2009 Edition of its industry leading enterprise mashup platform. Presto 2.7 makes mashups easier and safer to use by providing enhanced features that allow a broader group of business users to visually create mashups quickly and safely.

Presto 2.7 includes a more intuitive, user-focused update of Wires, the visual mashup composer, with many new self-service features that increase the user’s control of how, when and where data is mashed, published, and shared with others. Presto Wires also includes significant enhancements to 'Mashup Macros', custom actions that can be created on demand, reused, and shared, making Presto extensible to meet the unique needs of every user. Finally, Presto 2.7 also features security enhancements that detect and deny malicious code from public data sources like RSS making it safer to create mashups that harness public information.

"The customer demand for user empowerment is yet another indicator that mashup creation is moving closer to the business user. Presto 2.7 is another significant step in meeting that demand,” said John Crupi, CTO at JackBe. “By empowering knowledge workers with the right information at the right time, companies are able to achieve a 360 degree view of their business to make faster and more effective decisions."

In support of the enhanced Mashup Macro feature of Presto Wires, JackBe’s Mashup Developer Community (MDC) has announced a ‘Share your Mashup Macros’ contest. JackBe invites enterprise mashers that want to share their Mashup Macros work, win prize money, earn recognition, and perhaps even have their Mashup Macros work included in the next edition of Presto. Developers can visit the Share-Your-Mashup-Macros Contest page for more information and contest details. The contest begins immediately and runs all summer.
