History

JackBe was founded by Luis and Jacob Derechin in 2002 to create a new generation of software tools to improve the functionality and performance of Web applications, Ajax-based Rich Internet Applications. JackBe deployed Ajax solutions for many organizations long before the term 'Ajax' had even been coined. In 2005, JackBe evolved its product base to be centered around mashup server software that provides ad-hoc, light-weight integration of disparate data for enterprises. Portals, other AJAX frameworks, and most other enterprise applications can consume mashups built and managed with JackBe's enterprise mashup software.

Products

JackBe’s Enterprise Mashup Platform, Presto, combines SOA and Ajax into solutions for enterprise mashups and rich enterprise applications that deliver any data from any application to any user, while providing enterprise-grade security and governance features. Presto includes functionality for:

• server-based service creation and mashing from disparate sources including SQL/DBMS, EJB/POJO, RSS/ATOM, and WSDL;
• user-oriented mashup consumption, customization, and sharing;
• developer-centric application creation that incorporates mashups.

JackBe's mashup software can be evaluated and can be commercially licensed with a maintenance and support plan.
