Presto Mashup Ready Program Overview

A report published by Gartner Dataquest in June 2007 suggests that 56% of the products in the software application market will support Web services and Web 2.0 technologies, resulting in a forecast for the worldwide software market for these technologies to $142 billion by 2011. And according to a January 2007 McKinsey & Company survey of 2,847 executives, over 80% of enterprises plan to use Web 2.0 technologies for better interactions with customers, partners and employees.
