Featured quotes

\"We are thrilled to be a part of the showcase at AJAXWorld,\" said Apatar founder and
CEO Renat Khasanshyn. \"Enterprise customers are looking for a solution that can
integrate their on-premises data with a variety of Web 2.0 applications and Web
sites. Until recently, the choice was to either acquire expensive data mashup
software, or rely on hand-coding. It's a pleasure to help AJAX professionals explore
the area of open source tools and technologies and bring the ease of drag-and-drop
data integration to companies that previously found proprietary mashup tools
expensive and difficult to implement.\"
