Mashups in Action

We hope you had a chance to join us for our recent 3 day Free Mashup Training course designed to help you learn more about enterprise mashups. Each day we polled our audience with questions relevant to the training topic at hand and day 1 presented an interesting stat worth sharing. We asked, have you created a mashup? To our surprise only 20% of you responded yes which immediately prompted us into action. We have outlined three simple steps to help you build your mashup in action in minutes.  

• READ our 'Mashups in Action' blog series where we've described mashups used for intelligence analysis, medical research, and a community-building
• WATCH our 'Mashups in Action' videos on JackBe TV
• PLAY with our fully functioning mashup demos. Most notably, 'The Presto Competitive Intelligence Mashlet'
