The business value of RIAs is very clear: aesthetics do matter and users would like a pleasant experience. Good RIAs can provide your customers with user experiences that leave your competition in the dust. While most enterprise applications are based on old client/server technology with high cost of ownership and lack of flexibility, switching to the Web as a platform for mission-critical applications is very appealing – as it lowers the TCO significantly.
With a lineup of exceptional tech- and industry-savvy speakers, AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East in March offers dozens of high-quality use cases of the fast-emerging RIA alternatives such as AIR/Flash/Flex, Silverlight, JavaFX, Appcelerator and Curl among others.

that Phoenix is the
latest proof. He reported
from Demo 2008 that new
Flash- and Flex-based Web
apps "are putting
traditional desktop apps
to shame."
"The database Blist, the
widget maker Sprout, and
the photo manager Joggle
are all Web-based apps
that give up almost
nothing to run inside a
browser."
