Abstract

A lot of the current RIA and AJAX discussions and articles focus on the 
competition between technologies. Which RIA technology will succeed?Flex or 
Silverlight? Or will AJAX be the winner? In this talk, we will show what other 
factors need to be considered if enterprises want to go RIA. Essentially, we 
believe that it is not enough to decide on a technology and integrate this 
technology into the current enterprise architecture. At the very least, it is 
just as important that business managers and application designers are fully 
aware of the RIA paradigm, and design their applications accordingly. And that 
the developers arefully aware of the implications a rich UI design can have on 
the organization of their presentation code. We would like to show what kind of 
problems can arise when integrating a RIA technology into Intranet applications 
and how these can be solved.
