Rich internet applications (RIAs) are Web-based applications with features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. Even though RIAs have been around for more than a decade, many companies are now embracing them to help accommodate demands of users, improve overall experience and even increase profits.
Today's users demand rich interaction and UI responsiveness of enterprise, Internet and custom desktop applications. On the surface this may seem simple and straightforward to achieve. However, the software, standards and skills necessary to design and deliver highly interactive applications on enterprise platforms, across the Internet and the desktop have become a challenge for most companies.
TandemSeven’s experts have implemented numerous RIA-enabled business applications for many Fortune 1000 organizations across several industries. Our extensive experience includes eCommerce applications, dashboards, complex financial services applications and customer portals.
Understanding how to effectively develop RIAs is only one part of creating an engaging and effective rich user experience. Equally important is RIA design. TandemSeven understands both parts of the equation. Our proven technique to design RIAs is a visual language used to document rich interactions or conditional user interfaces. It allows the designer to communicate in their strongest medium: visualizations. It also exists within a structured framework that is valuable to the technology teams.
