Mashups and Composite Applications were named one of the top 10 strategic technologies for 2008 by Gartner because they can have a significant impact on a business. A ‘mashup’ is a Web application that combines data from multiple sources and presents them as a composite view. Denodo Platform combines the power of real-time enterprise information integration with the ease of use of Web mashups for creating several powerful applications such as Single View of Customer, Competitive and Market Intelligence and Financial Data Aggregation.
Companies are using the Denodo Platform to accomplish a variety of tasks:
Denodo’s customers include leading banks, financial institutions and insurance companies. Banco Popular uses the technology to create a Holistic View of Customers across products, partner offerings, competitor information and consumer feedback, which allowed the bank to improve service, reduce churn and increase per customer revenue. An investment bank implemented an External Watch solution to automatically monitor, extract and combine data from dozens of internal and public Web sources for competitive and market intelligence, regulatory watch, and equity research.
