IBM Mashup Center wins Tech Innovator Award

On November 18, 2008, IBM Mashup Center was awarded the 2008 Tech Innovator award in the Enterprise Business Software category by Everything Channel's VARBusiness. The six annual Tech Innovators Awards celebrate the most innovative products, people and personalities in the industry and highlight emerging products and technologies currently sold through the IT Channel.

CRN Test Center technical editors evaluated each entry on characteristics such as whether it delivered new functionality, used innovation to solve a problem in a new way, or overcame previous technical limitations using a new approach. The product that bridged the widest gap between problem and solution, using new technology or methods, was named the winner.

IBM Mashup Center helps organizations unlock and transform diverse sources of information into mashable assets such as feeds and widgets. These assets can then be dynamically assembled into new applications that address daily business challenges. Enabling business users in this way can reduce application backlog, lower development and increase the reuse of existing assets to reach more people cost-effectively.
