The Definition

RIA is not a marketing buzzword (although Buzzword by Adobe is an example of an RIA) – it is the way Internet-based applications are built today. It is an approach that fuses the functionality & feel of a traditional desktop application with the universal reach of the web, while transcending the limitations of both.

The Rich Factor

The rich in RIA means fully the power of rich content and interactive media that is perfectly aligned to any environment both within the corporate firewall and out there in the big blue world.

Rich also stands for compelling user interfaces. It is not just about the slickness of the interface though – it is about an engaging user experience that allows getting the most of the data and logic sitting behind the scenes. Rich applications move beyond the page-based metaphor and provide a holistic task-oriented environment that is responsive and easy to use.

The Reach Factor

Web RIAs are designed to run across platforms and devices and can be accessed via the browser on the go, whenever necessary, with the same look and feel of the application intact. Yet there is a different approach, which is deploying a rich application on the desktop, thus enabling it to work both in the connected mode and offline.

The Bottom Line

The remarkable solution flexibility achievable with RIAs is winning an ever greater mindshare among developers and business managers alike, with enterprise RIAs gaining momentum. When data is the focus, then reliable and secure access to the corporate network on the go is crucial, or when analysis and evaluation need to be smoothened by a user-friendly frontend, the best way to go is the RIA way. It is all a matter of finding a perfect match for the context at hand.

This is exactly what we do here at iTechArt. Pursuing RIA as one of our core areas of interest, we have gathered a team of motivated RIA developers, seasoned in a series of projects of various scope and complexity and specializing each of the major technologies, including Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight and AJAX.

Testimonials

We have been doing business with iTechArt Group since fall of 2009 and I personally have been impressed by the professionalism of your project team. I must admit I thought there might be a problem with language and time zones but technology allows our engineers to communicate frequently and effectively at little to no cost. Our project was defined and outlined by your team. A detailed presentation was made to our engineering team and all items were discussed thoroughly. Ideas were presented from both sides of the table which all were aimed at providing a better end product. Your project plan was followed closely during the 7 month of our product development cycle. The finished work was delivered on time and on budget. We are so pleased with your work that we will be awarding your group the next phases of our software product development.
