The business value of RIAs is very clear: aesthetics do matter and users would like a pleasant experience. Good RIAs can provide your customers with user experiences that leave your competition in the dust. While most enterprise applications are based on old client/server technology with high cost of ownership and lack of flexibility, switching to the Web as a platform for mission-critical applications is very appealing – as it lowers the TCO significantly.
With a lineup of exceptional tech- and industry-savvy speakers, AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East in March offers dozens of high-quality use cases of the fast-emerging RIA alternatives such as AIR/Flash/Flex, Silverlight, JavaFX, Appcelerator and Curl among others.
