Palo Alto Company Takes Top Honors in Enterprise Tools Category for
Unique Abilities in Creating Mashup and Web Intelligence Applications
 Palo Alto, CA - March 13, 2008– Kapow Technologies, the expert
in harvesting mashable public and private web intelligence with software that
turns the web into the world's largest database, announced today that the Kapow
Mashup Server Web 2.0 Edition has won the 2008 Jolt Product Excellence Award,
Enterprise Tools Category.
The Jolt Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars® of software development,"
recognize those products, books and websites that have "jolted" the industry in
the past year. Hundreds of Enterprise Tools Category entrants, including some of
the world's largest software vendors and innovative startups are screened by a
thorough lab-review process by a panel of judges consisting of the foremost
industry insiders, columnists, and technology leaders. Judging criteria are
meant to distinguish outstanding products ahead of the curve, and prove that
they deliver productivity, innovation, quality, ROI, risk and flexibility.
"Winning a Jolt Award is one of the highest honors in the software industry,"
said Stefan Andreasen, CTO and founder of Kapow Technologies. "The award
validates the Kapow Mashup Server's uniqueness and effectiveness. While there
are a lot of different companies that focus on providing the visual composition
tools for mashup components, Kapow Technologies is the only solution on the
market today in use at hundreds of enterprises around the globe that enables
access to the underlying data sources and services to be mashed up, whether they
are located inside the organization or on the Web. The Web 2.0 Edition of the Kapow Mashup Server is optimized to enable easy and
quick creation of mashable components from just about any web resource, making
it possible to reuse web data or business logic from inside a company or the
public web. Once the feeds have been generated, they can be published as
lightweight RSS/Atom feeds or REST services, typically used by mashup builders
to develop quick-to-assemble ad hoc applications that combine web content from
different sources into a new application. The Web 2.0 Edition makes it possible
for IT organizations to cost-effectively address the long tail of their
application backlog, using mashups as a means to rapidly deploy IT solutions to
the edge of the enterprise. A variety of use cases of the Kapow Mashup Server
can be found here.
