Rich Internet applications

Intuitive, effective experiences

A rich Internet application (RIA) is an entirely new kind of web experience that is engaging, interactive, lightweight, and flexible. RIAs offer the flexibility and ease of use of an intelligent desktop application, and add the broad reach of traditional web applications. The tool that enterprises use to build and deploy RIAs is Adobe Flexâ?¢ 2. Flex enables enterprises to create personalized, multimedia-rich applications that dramatically enhance user experience, increasing customer satisfaction and making users more productive. And, because RIAs run on the ubiquitous Adobe® Flash? Player 9, enterprises can reach a broad audience of customers, partners, and employees with rich content and interactivity.
