Serena Software and Capgemini are helping companies bring new Web-based, consumer-oriented technology into the enterprise so workers can address business issues on their own rather than relying on IT.  Capgemini's RAIN (short for RApid INnovation) is a dynamic environment uniquely designed to help companies discover, develop, and deliver sustainable new business models to create a Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOE). Capgemini's RAIN engagement team will offer a one day RAIN session to be conducted in Cupertino , Calif. to its clients, helping them take advantage of SOE to solve specific business issues using Serena's Business Mashup tools. 

Serena executives will discuss these Web 2.0 trends and technologies in more detail at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco , Calif. , April 22 - 25, 2008. RAIN business analysts will empower the professionals in business lines to design and compose a mashup without the need for programming skills.  These Business Mashups will link data and processes from existing company systems (i.e. salesforce.com, SAP) as well as the many Web services now available to solve a variety of everyday business problems.

Just like people can mash up Google Maps with information on their local eateries with free Web 2.0 tools, business people can take this same idea and make it work in the enterprise. Serena's Business Mashups combine two or more sources of content and processes into a single view.  Business people can visually drag and drop applications together in minutes without writing any code.  Serena has already created a number of Business Mashups designed to address common business problems such as simplifying vacation requests or sales discount approvals. These Business Mashups are available to users for no charge under Creative Commons licenses.
