Software Applications, Extend Market Reach & Enhance Customer Satisfaction
The launch of Adobe AIR points the new wave of
Rich Internet Application (RIA). RIA is a web based application with features
and functionality of traditional desktop application. It shifts the processing
necessary to user interface to the web client and keeps the bulk of data back on
the application server. Through RIA it is possible to retain the user-interface
of a client-server application on the internet. People can run this application
from any device, even when they are not online. RIA aims at providing users with
a richer-interface experience which can be more traditional DHTML or the newer
AJAX approach. RIA provides better feedback to the user and tries to get a
user-experience of a browser based application closer to that of a desktop.
Google maps are an example of Rich Internet Application (RIA). Enterprises use
RIA to lower technology cost, speed time to market and leverage their
investments in data quality without making any kind of sacrifice on productivity
or customer responsiveness.
Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) is a way to tap the features of the browser but
without the browser. It assists businesses, web designers and developers to
build Rich Internet Applications (RIA). It aims at enabling the development of
desktop applications better known as desktop-based RIA, using web technology.
Adobe AIR proves to be a boon for businesses. AIR moves the trading applications
to the internet which enables faster trade execution, instant data updates and a
very convenient access to related research.
Most companies have dedicated upload applications that run all different
platforms but somehow it takes a lot of work to do so. Adobe AIR makes it
possible to write applications for any platform using HTML and JavaScript. Its
command line toolkit, the
software
development
kit
(SDK) offers access to cool desktop features such as drag and drop a bunch of
files and watch them upload. The SDK packages and deploys web applications as
AIR applications. Adobe AIR proves to be a big opportunity for businesses to
build powerful and compelling applications. Adobe has entered an era in which it
helps companies to build and run next-generation rich internet applications (RIA’s)
that run on the web and on the desktop systems.
Adobe AIR enables to develop an innovative application that shuns the need of
expensive
programming
talent. It is a runtime environment that promises to let companies run web
applications built using JavaScript and XML (AJAX) tools.
It lifts Flash and AJAX out of the browser and onto the desktop offering network
connectivity, encrypted local storage and most net worthy, offline
functionality. Adobe Air is a way to enable new generation of Applications and
it is cross OS compatible wherein the same application code can be deployed to
Windows, MAC and eventually to Linux.
It serves businesses with innovative applications without requiring changes to
existing technologies, people or processes. The benefits are quite extensive,
AIR uses the same cost effective technologies utilized to build web
applications, and hence development and deployment is quite rapid and low risk.
It allows using the existing web development resources and applications that run
on all kinds of operating systems. Using Adobe AIR as RIA strategy can boost
productivity, extend market reach, enhance customer satisfaction, improves
customer retention, lowers costs and increases profits.
QBitSystems (www.QbitSystems.com), a leading IT company has taken a step ahead
to help businesses by making use of this new technology “Adobe AIR” and by
lowering their technology cost. It develops innovative applications for
businesses using Adobe AIR. The company serves its customers with many benefits
using AIR like file system access, windowing, offline storage, rapid development
& deployment and many more.
QBit states that Rich Internet applications (RIA’s) based on Adobe AIR provides
better performance and it is seamless for each participant team in the process
because there is no need to install applications on client machines and no need
to be concerned about diverse computing environments. Adobe AIR as Rich Internet
Application (RIA) strategy allows companies to integrate or link to
functionality that used to be in separate applications, access a broader set of
data sources, or pave the way for new
application
architecture.
