SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/11/13 -- MuleSoft, provider of the world's most widely used integration platform, is kicking off Mule Summit 2013: Connecting the New Enterprise, an eight-city, multi-national tour. Now in its fourth year as the industry's premier integration event, this year's Mule Summit series will educate and prepare attendees for the next generation integration, where connecting applications and data -- in the cloud, on-premise, and on mobile devices -- becomes the primary source of business advantage.

The Spring 2013 series commences April 9th in Los Angeles, followed by San Francisco, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York, Dallas and Chicago. With workshops, training sessions and real-world use case presentations, each Mule Summit brings together the leading minds in application integration to share best practices, trends and techniques. MuleSoft's CTO and founder, Ross Mason, will keynote each summit, sharing his insights on "Connecting the New Enterprise" and what the future holds for application integration.

Mule Summit 2013 will offer attendees:

• Insights into MuleSoft's vision for the future of integration, including demo-driven previews of MuleSoft's future roadmap

"Companies can no longer compete with only the talent, assets and technology within their four walls. To win in this world, the New Enterprise must connect internal systems, SaaS and mobile. At Mule Summit, we will explore these themes in depth and give practical guidance on implementation, illustrated with real-world achievements from our customer base," said Ross Mason, CTO and founder of MuleSoft. "MuleSoft's integration platform allows our customers to connect and profit from the biggest shifts in IT -- SaaS, mobile, Big Data and open APIs.
