Rich Internet Application Development

Rich Internet Applications, popularly known as RIA, are web applications that are loaded with features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. Pitted against the ageing HTML, RIAs typically transfers the processing necessary for the user interface to the web client but stores the bulk of the data back on the application server. Using the broad reach of the Internet, RIAs can be deployed across browsers and desktops. Pidex offers RIA development services through Ajax or other client-side engine approaches, such as using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex and, more recently, Microsoft Silverlight.

General Benefits of RIA

• Installation is not required, updating and distributing the application is instant and automated.
• Updates/upgrades to new versions are automatic.
• The application can be used from any computer with an internet connection, irrespective of what operating system that computer is using.
