ROLE OF RICH INTERNET APPLICATIONS (RIA) IN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Doing business is a roller coaster ride where you are dealing with ‘n’ number of people for various purposes, and it is very important that you know how to retain your customers. Any service-oriented business having online presence needs now to be faster and more responsive than ever which is possible by deploying Rich Internet Applications (RIA). It is a new approach to the conventional internet applications that followed a client-server architecture restricted by HTML specifications. Apparently a need was felt to upgrade the old web application concept to meet customer expectations of a more responsive interface and that opened an all-new market of RIA, a term coined as late as March 2002 though the concept had existed for a number of years before its introduction.

RIA enhances the value of service-oriented systems. Let’s see how -

Fast interactivity and processing:  Applications engage the user by responding quickly as the client engine downloading takes place in the beginning itself. As the entire page is not refreshed while indulging in any application, the processing is faster.

Intelligent interface: The user gets to enjoy a meticulous yet appealing interface that furnishes different functional characteristics.

Convenient online transactions: It’s so easy to have any transaction done as there is no need to switch over pages.

The popularity of rich internet applications has much elevated, and the top three frameworks in the rich internet technology are Adobe Flash, Java and Microsoft Silverlight. It is needed to realize that RIA solutions can have a dramatic effect on the productivity of a business. You should not lose the directive of making your every customer feel more than satisfied every time he comes and visit you online. Directed to the requirements of a company, custom rich internet applications can offer the desired accessibility, portability and scalability to drive its performance upwards.

Rich Internet Application Development – A Wave of Internet Richness

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Internet has got a new dimension with RIAs (rich internet applications). A web page takes time to reload, while a desktop application allows quick interactivity since the application runs on the local drive of a user’s desktop computer. The reason to mention desktop application here is that a rich internet application behaves like a desktop application. Thus, the user interactivity is very high as there is a quick reaction time with no need to reload, unlike the web application. The result of this ‘no refresh’ feature is a speedy and lively interaction of end users with applications and thus an enhanced user experience.

We can say that the rich internet application development process has combined the best of desktop and web offerings and has revolutionized the way people use the internet today. Further on the line of benefit, the custom web application give freedom from the problems related to distribution that are generally faced by the desktop applications.

There are currently many frameworks utilized for rich application development like Java, Adobe Flex, Silverlight, and HTML5. Of these, Adobe Flex framework is quite popular as it allows the RIA developers to develop dynamically stunning RIAs quickly. Flex 4, the latest offering from the Adobe family, supports 3D animation, and with it, the developers are enabled to easily synthesize an elegant online display of multimedia.

RIA development allows its developers to embed streamlined video and audio clips into the website. The rich graphics help viewers to quickly grasp the information and animation displays make the websites lively. An aesthetic value is added to the content and it is brought to liveliness to catch the imagination of the end users. A video clip or animation or graphic display that provides rich information and is good enough to generate a ‘vow’ feeling is sure to sell like hot cakes. So, today if we see the spread of engaging content far and wide on the internet, it is because of the RIA development.
