WaveMaker(TM), a provider of open source tools for rapid Web application development, today announced a strategic partnership with on-demand financial web services provider Xignite. Together, Xignite and WaveMaker will greatly simplify the process by which financial services organizations integrate key financial information into the processes and applications their employees and clients use every day. By combining Xignite's web services and WaveMaker's Visual Ajax Studio development environment, customers can easily create and deploy a mashup to an existing Web page or dashboard in a matter of minutes.
Xignite web services allow companies in need of financial information the ability to display or use financial market data in an application, such as last sale prices, charts, news, SEC filings, currency exchange rates or commodity prices. WaveMaker's drag-and-drop Web application toolkit enables users to quickly and easily create database-driven Ajax Web applications without having to write complex code. Together, WaveMaker provides developers the ability to quickly create nearly code-less mashups and integrate them into existing business applications.
