IBM Mashup Center How-to Demos

IBM Mashup Center helps organizations unlock and transform diverse sources of information into mashable assets such as feeds and widgets. These assets can then be dynamically assembled into new applications that address daily business challenges. Enabling business users in this way can reduce application backlog, lower development and increase the reuse of existing assets to reach more people cost-effectively.

These tutorial demos show the steps required to create feeds widgets and mashups, using various data sources such as SQL, Excel and other external data sources, and how to embed a widget into an html page, all using the IBM Mashup Center and its two components InfoSphere MashupHub and Lotus Mashups.

Different components of the MashupHub client have been designed with the domain expertise of the expected user and potential usage scenarios in mind. Some business users, might be comfortable with creating a feed from an Excel spreadsheet. In this demonstration we see how to create a new feed from an Excel spreadsheet that contains customer data.
