ARIS MashZone: create the perfect business mashup in just ten minutes. See the future of reporting live at CeBIT!

Darmstadt, Germany, 3/3/2010

ARIS MashZone’s innovative mashup technologies are revolutionizing the creation of business dashboards. Non-expert users can now combine, analyze, and visualize data in the form of attractive, interactive mashups without the need for programming skills. The mashups can be immediately adapted to new requirements and shared and developed collaboratively within the enterprise using Web 2.0 technologies. The burden on the IT department is reduced, while a new level of transparency leads to faster, better decisions.

Since market launch on January 14, 2010, more than 10,000 potential users have downloaded the free version of ARIS MashZone. Press feedback has been unanimously positive:

Wiener Zeitung: “MashZone breathes new life into data graveyards” 

Netzwelt: “All in all, ARIS Mashzone probably rates as currently the best mashup program in the world. There is no comparable solution available at this time from Microsoft, IBM, or Oracle.”

IDS Scheer is presenting ARIS MashZone at CeBIT on Software AG’s stand in Hall 4, A12. Together with TomTom WORK, TomTom’s B2B division, the company will demonstrate how ARIS MashZone helps make more effective and efficient use of vehicle fleets. A mashup can be used to monitor vehicle CO2 emissions, fleet utilization, driver behavior, and mileage.

IDS Scheer will be giving away 200 USB sticks containing ARIS MashZone at CeBIT. Pick up your version and start creating your first mashup straight after the show!

ARIS MashZone is available online at www.mashzone.com. The website contains video tutorials, a MashApp gallery with practical application examples for management, marketing, sales, purchasing, and human resources, and a free download version of the product.
