Benefits

The ways in which customers interact with businesses are changing. The rapid adoption of handheld devices and connected systems inside the home has led to a workforce and consumer audience that is more aware of the types of interactions open to them and expects more as a result.

A Rich Internet Application is a new kind of web experience that is engaging, interactive, intuitive and delivers a much enhanced user experience. RIAs offer the flexibility and ease of use of an intelligent application with the broad reach of a web application. RIAs help enterprises create personalised applications that enhance user experience, increasing customer satisfaction and making users more productive. Rich internet applications are becoming commonplace both on the internet and as internally facing applications.

Examples include:

    * Arum DataEye®
    * Adobe RIA
    * Adobe - NASDAQ

Complexity - RIAs are particularly strong where complex information needs to be presented and assimilated in real time and where highly responsive personalised content is beneficial.

Flexibility - RIAs separate the application from the platform or device on which it is being used. This partitioning makes RIAs flexible and reduces the costly support associated with desktop applications. Small and lightweight, RIAs can be installed by the user quickly, easily, and when they are needed.

Consistency - the user interface and experience can be controlled across operating systems.

Responsive - RIAs simplify complex processes saving bandwidth and making perform considerably faster than traditional Web applications, thus enhancing customers’ online engagement, guidance and feedback.

Experience - engaging experiences have been widely adopted and deliver tangible return on investment (ROI) to the businesses that deploy them.
