Mashup Travel Site for 2008 Beijing Olympics
Kapow Technologies Continues to Gain Momentum in
Asia
Palo Alto, CA - January 24, 2008 – Kapow Technologies
today announced its first Chinese customer, China Springboard Inc. The
prominent Chinese Internet domain name and online media development firm
has selected the Kapow Mashup Server to power its travel site for the 2008
Summer Olympics in Beijing. Also in the terms of the agreement, China
Springboard will resell the Kapow Mashup Server to its global customer
base.
With over three million domain names under management at China
Springboard, the company will first deploy the Kapow Mashup Server on a
specialty travel portal tailored towards Chinese users seeking deep
expertise and local knowledge in their travel planning for the Beijing
Olympics. The new site will feature everything from real-time airline and
hotel reservations, to sight-seeing and other travel-related information.
The high-volume, enterprise-scale web site integrates content and data
from the Web with several different internal and external data and content
sources.
"Because the Olympics are only seven months away, we set a target to
develop our site within three months. Using a traditional programming
approach with large teams of individual programmers was not an option.
Scalability and quality were of the utmost importance," said Alex Lee, CEO
at China Springboard. "Our choice to leverage the mashup serving approach
and partner with Kapow Technologies is based on the company's proven track
record in solving similar challenges for high-volume Internet sites at
leading companies around the world. With the Kapow Mashup Server, our
development costs and deployment timeframes are a fraction of what they
would be when compared to other programming methods."
"It is an honor to partner with China Springboard, because it is a
leading Chinese Internet company that is setting new standards of
innovation and excellence," said John Yapaola, COO of Kapow Technologies.
"We look forward to a long partnership with China Springboard, and are
committed to providing the mashup serving technologies that will help the
company achieve its mission of delivering value to domain name investors
and its advertising partners, while providing fresh and innovative
Internet content to Chinese netizens on a daily basis."
According to Mr. Lee, the result of the collaboration between China
Springboard and Kapow Technologies will yield better user experiences, and
thereby accelerate traffic growth and increased returns for domain name
investors and online advertisers. China Springboard intends to use the
Kapow Mashup Server for other upcoming website development projects.
