While few would question the benets that Internet-based applications have brought to businesses

and consumers alike, the actual experience of interacting with many web-based applications

leaves much to be desired, especially when compared with the richness and usability of the best

desktop applications.

For consumer-oriented applications, such as e-commerce, the web’s page-based model and lack

of client-side intelligence can make even relatively simple transactions confusing and error prone. As

a result, online businesses are losing millions of dollars to abandoned shopping carts or costly

customer service calls.

For business applications, the problem is particularly acute. While the web deployment model

has allowed IT organizations to reduce the cost of soware deployment, it has also created a

community of underserved business users that long for a return to the usability and responsiveness

of desktop and client/server applications. As a result, businesses are losing millions of dollars per

year due to low productivity or poor decisions.

Fortunately, aer long focusing on the technical challenges of web-enabling their application

infrastructure, forward-looking IT professionals are now turning their attention to design patterns

and technologies that can improve the client side of the equation. As a result, we are now seeing

widespread deployment of rich Internet applications (RIAs), a new class of applications that

combines the responsiveness and interactivity of desktop applications with the broad reach and

ease of distribution of the web.

RIAs can drive increased return on investment (ROI) by simplifying and improving the user

interaction—enabling users to nd information more easily, complete tasks quickly and

accurately, and use rich data visualization to make better decisions. Before realizing these

benets, however, IT professionals must navigate through a new set of technologies as well as

understand the architectural and developer skill requirements implied by the move toward

RIA-style applications.

is technical white paper discusses both the short-term and long-term requirements of RIAs

and discusses how the Adobe Flex 2 product family helps IT organizations take advantage of

existing skills and infrastructure to eciently deliver a broad range of RIAs that can scale from

simple marketing applications to mission-critical enterprise applications.
