StrikeIron has inked a deal with IBM to deliver web services via IBM's enterprise mashup maker QED-Wiki. Today, companies need reliable, easy-to-use sources of data and this partnership allows business users to easily access over 100 StrikeIron business services through IBM's QED-Wiki.

IBM's QED-Wiki is a browser-based assembly canvas used to create just-in-time situational applications. Its unique wiki foundation provides both Internet users and developers with a single framework for hosting and developing a broad range of Web 2.0 applications.

Available content includes BI (business intelligence) services such as multiple D&B services, Address Verification, Email Verification, Currency Rates and more.
