AJAX is quickly emerging as the best solution for developing a new generation of functionally rich, highly interactive Web applications - Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). Web 2.0 applications from companies like Google, Yahoo, and Flickr all use AJAX extensively. As a result of the success of these consumer applications, more businesses now use AJAX for delivering the same rich user experience to their customers and internal users. These new requirements mean that businesses must find ways to incorporate AJAX into their existing application development and deployment processes and environments. This session covers the selection criteria enterprises have to consider in choosing an AJAX solution provider.
