Rich Internet Applications succeed where common Web applications fail today. When to apply RIA
technology is easy to recognize if you experience the
following problems:
- Internet viewing difficulties across multiple platforms
(MAC, Linux, Windows)
- Internet viewing difficulties across multiple Web
browsers (Safari, Internet Explorer, Netscape)
- Slow load times for low bandwidth
- Slow load times for high bandwidth
- Rendering capabilities
- Only work while connected, or online
- Complex user interfaces
- Refresh to recall new data
- Audio difficulties
- Video difficulties
- Graphical difficulties
RIAs have the best-of-breed
features to solve each of these problems as outlined
below.
- Utilize a ubiquitous client
- Run unchanged across the Internet on multiple hardware
platforms
- Execute well across low or high bandwidth connections
- Restore processing power (not just rendering capabilities)
to the client
- Deliver engaging user interfaces with high degrees
of interactivity
- Represent process, data configuration, scale and
feedback complexity
- Utilize audio, video, images and text in a seamless
manner
- Support the mobile workflow by allowing users
to work on- and off-line
- Allow the client to determine for itself what
content or data to access and when (Asynchronous
content retrieval)
- Access multiple middle tier services (both .NET
or Java) and backend data stores
- Provide a dynamic and powerful front end for the
evolving Web Services based network — use emerging
standards, such as XML and SOAP
- Integrate with legacy applications and systems
- Allow for the incremental addition of new functions
to existing Web applications and environments to
get the most out of existing Web application investments
RIAs provide all these benefits in a cost-effective
and time-efficient manner.
