AJ now expanded its operations through establishment of a new DIC based company that focuses on its Technology Practice. 

Our DIC office is primarily focused on our Technology Practice offerings in general and on design and development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in particular.

“When it comes to RIA technologies, application development professionals must choose between two

paths: Ajax or Adobe. Ajax is the best bet for experienced Web development shops looking to incrementally evolve existing Web applications. Of course, selecting Ajax also raises the question of whether to go with a homegrown, open source, or commercial Ajax framework. In contrast, Adobe is best for shops looking to completely transform their Web experiences. But to do so, firms must acquire the skills necessary to use Flex, which is the development framework for the Flash runtime environment. Early adopters with time-to-market concerns and comfort with either smaller vendors or open source can select Ajax with confidence.

But firms that require support from a larger vendor and full-featured development tools will do better with Adobe.” At AJ we have selected Adobe Tools as our strategic path for RIA development. We have already started developing the necessary Flex and ColdFusion expertise required skills.

RIA Envy!

Companies develop RIA envy. The pace of RIA adoption will pick up as companies learn to model RIA benefits and overcome common problems related to accessibility and search engine optimization. The tipping point will come when companies see leaders in their own industry rolling out rich applications. At that point, retailers will feel the acute need to provide single-screen checkout, financial services companies will require sophisticated modeling tools, and auto manufacturers won’t be able to make do without dynamically updating configurations — like those of their close competitors.
