Kapow Mashup Server 6.5 Extends Capabilities to Provide More Powerful Business-Critical Web Services and Mashups

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PALO ALTO, CA, November 10 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Kapow Technologies today announces Kapow
Mashup Server version 6.5. This software release features new capabilities
that make it easy for customers to leverage a RoboServer Management API to
monitor RoboServer performance through standard systems-management tools
such as IBM Tivoli? and HP Openview?. This new API also allows the
creation of sophisticated scheduling systems to better load balance robot
executions.

"As the complexity of service-oriented and mashup applications continues to
increase, it's critical that vendor solutions integrate seamlessly with
enterprise-class systems management environments," said Jason Bloomberg,
Managing Partner at ZapThink. "Kapow Mashup Server, complete with
comprehensive APIs and advanced standards support, ensures that companies
can leverage their existing enterprise systems to create new breakthrough
applications with data from inside the enterprise and on the Web."

Kapow Technologies Adds More Functionality to Create Robust Mashups and
Custom Business Applications

In addition to improved enterprise manageability, Kapow Mashup Server 6.5
further extends its market leadership with custom data feeds for service
enablement and composite applications.

Now, customers can continue to innovate with web services by creating any
custom RSS feed imaginable, including ones using geography and rich media.
"We are impressed with the speed and ease of creating data feeds and web
services with the Kapow OnDemand product," said John Risch, CTO of Future
Point Systems. "Kapow's robot development environment is the easiest to
use and most capable web harvester IDE we've found. Compared to other tools
we reviewed, Kapow Technologies' were by far the most powerful. Kapow
OnDemand is a strategic business enabler for our company."

Kapow Technologies has also increased support for complex AJAX libraries
such as Prototype and JQuery. These added capabilities are in response to
the growing number of dynamic JavaScript and AJAX-powered web sites, which
are virtually impossible to extract data from without proper tools.

"No other mashup server solution on the market today provides as many
possibilities for data feeds, web services and composite applications as
Kapow Mashup Server," said Stefan Andreasen, Founder and CTO of Kapow
Technologies. "We are enabling our customers to harness this new class of

complex, unstructured data by working ahead of the curve to support
advanced standards such as RSS, REST, ATOM, JSON, WADL and WSDL."
