PRESTO: An Enterprise-Ready Mashup Solution

Is your enterprise empowering your employees, customers and partners?

Knowledge workers can only shine their brightest if they are properly empowered – and access to the right information at the right time has always been a large limiting factor for their success. True empowerment requires more than a pretty 'User Interface', it requires access to information stored inside and outside of the enterprise in order to make the right business decisions. Your enterprise has many high-value employees who need easy access to information from different data sources, and an easy way to manipulate and mashup the data to reach important decisions. How are you empowering them?

With this concept of user empowerment in mind, JackBe developed an enterprise mashup platform, Presto, which enables application developers and end users to experience self-service data access, situational integration, and enterprise-grade mashups all within the browser to make more effective decisions and independently complete daily tasks. Presto Enterprise Mashups turn knowledge workers into "the killer app" every enterprise needs to be gain an advantage over competition.
