Andrew Shorten, a Platform Evangelist for Adobe and a specialist in Rich Internet Applications started a series of blog post about RIAs in Enterprise Markets. From his blog:

“When talking about Flash, people often think about consumer-oriented web experiences, such as watching video on YouTube, exploring a micro-site for their favourite brand, editing photos and video on the web or being exposed to rich media advertising.

The Flash Platform is used for all those types of experiences, but more recently, with the introduction of the Flex framework, expanded capabilities and performance with Flash Player and the arrival of Adobe AIR, the platform is being used by enterprise customers to build line of business applications.”

He writes about following topics:

• Enterprise RIA Series – part 1: What is an RIA?
• Enterprise RIA Series – part 2: The role of an RIA in the enterprise
• Enterprise RIA Series – part 3: RIA compared with existing technologies
• Enterprise RIA Series – part 4: Development considerations and best practices
• Enterprise RIA Series – part 5: Real-life enterprise RIAs

Cheers and Happy New Year!
