Press Release Body: SAN FRANCISCO--April 22, 2008--JackBe, the leading provider of
enterprise mashup software, today announced from the Web 2.0 Expo, the general
availability of the second generation of its award-winning enterprise mashup
platform. Presto 2.0 brings enterprise mashups to the business user through
enterprise-ready mashup widgets known as 'Mashlets'. The major innovations in Presto
2.0 also include mashup connectivity for a wide range of enterprise products
including Microsoft Excel, HP SOA Systinet, Adobe Flash/Flex, ExtJS, JavaT, Web 2.0
portals such as Netvibes and Pageflakes and all major corporate portals including
Oracle, BEA, IBM and JBoss.

Created in three clicks, Presto Mashlets are portable and sharable micro-Web
applications used for common knowledge-worker activities such as analyzing sales
data, tracking competitive information, performing professional research, completing
enterprise risk analysis, supporting sales/client prospecting, improving customer
service, or providing fast access to any other kind of dynamic, time-sensitive data
directly to business users. Presto Mashlets bring true collaboration to the
enterprise by allowing users to easily discover and share Presto Mashlets through
enterprise portals, blogs, wikis, or email.

In addition to Presto Mashlets, Presto 2.0 innovations include many other features
for business users and mashup developers. Solutions for business users include
Presto Wires, a visual mashup creation tool and the Presto Connector for Excel that
allows business users to consume mashups in Excel and publish mashup-ready Excel
spreadsheets. Presto 2.0 includes several developer productivity components to
accelerate mashup creation. These components include a mashup development plug-in
for Eclipse, an HP-certified Connector for HP SOA Systinet, enhancements to the
unique Presto Enterprise Mashup Markup Language (EMML), and a robust Mashup
Connector API for Javascript, REST, JavaT, Flash/Flex, Silverlight and C#.

"Enterprise technology is encountering a 'perfect storm' of SOA, mashups and widgets
that are converging together to finally allow the business user to address their
most dynamic information needs. Enterprise mashup platforms like Presto 2.0 are an
integral part of that solution," said John Crupi, CTO at JackBe. "Presto 2.0 greatly
expands the speed, scale and scope of information use and reuse within the
enterprise. Presto Mashlets alone make Presto 2.0 worth looking at but we went much
further, bringing mashups and Mashlets to every major tool in use by business users
and developers."

Awarded Enterprise Mashup Platform of the Year in 2008 by InfoWorld, JackBe's Presto
