Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) combine the ubiquity of browser based applications with the user interface of traditional windows applications to provide the best of both worlds for serious business application development With RIAs, everyone wins. IT departments enjoy the simplicity of server based deployments and the cost savings of a much more productive development environment. End users enjoy a true rich application with dramatically improved performance and a rich user interface using traditional rich controls such as tree views, data grids, tab controls, etc.
RIAs are the wave of the future for business application development. This can be seen across nearly all technologies from Microsoft's SmartClient initiative in .NET, Adobe's expansion of the Flash platform with Adobe Flex, and Sun's Java Web Start within the Java world. With a rich history in both rich client applications and application server based solutions, RIA development was a natural fit for us at Akira. We have been developing RIA solutions for some of today's most progressive companies.
