More and more enterprises are looking into how they can benefit from mashups to improve their business. Unfortunately, many of the best-known mashups today are more consumer oriented. Many mashup examples do not pay justice to the real enterprise value of mashups and they certainly do not explain why mashups are something every company needs to start using. This talk walks through the value drivers for mashups in the enterprise and ends with a short demo of how the Kapow Mashup Server can add value to businesses today.

Stefan Andreasen has more than 20 years of experience in software design and development. In 1998 he started Kapow Technologies as a marketplace for cars, real estate, and boats for sale. In 2001, Stefan sold the marketplace to the largest bank in Denmark and changed Kapow Technologies into a pure software company and introduced a server-based solution for mashups, the Kapow Mashup Server. In 2006 he launched www.openkapow.com, where Web developers can freely use the product to build and share APIs to data on the Internet.
