We have been a leader in utilizing advanced Java and Ajax technologies for application development. And from that foundation, we recognize Adobe Flex as a strategic technology to efficiently develop highly-functional, reusable, web-based applications. In April, 2007, Adobe released Flex as an open-source (no user license fee) product. At the same time, Adobe is continuing to develop and enhance licensed developer versions of Flex.
We utilize these products, including “FLEX BUILDER ” and “FLEX BUILDER WITH CHARTING ”, to enhance our programming productivity and accelerate development and testing cycles.
We are fully committed to the Adobe Flex platform. As early adopters, we have significant experience with these products, and are an authorized Adobe Advanced Solution Provider for Adobe Flex.
At Alliance Flex lets us develop and design rich applications that help businesses
communicate more effectively, inside and outside the enterprise. While traditional
web browsing is constrained by the page-based HTML model and limited to request/
response-based data access, Flex applications provide a more seamless user experience.
In the background, powerful data services transparently synchronize data and support
real-time data push. Plus, messaging capabilities enable more robust applications that
continue to function after network connectivity is lost and allow multiple people in
different locations to browse or chat in the same application. These features, plus the
ability to seamlessly integrate audio and video, open the door to new ways of interacting with customers, partners, and employees.
Inside the company, Flex applications can integrate and automate multistep business
processes. Plus, Flex integrates with existing tools, workflows, and applications in an
enterprise infrastructure. Outside the firewall, enterprises can offer customers
innovative services that combine interactive, data-driven interfaces with complete
control over an application’s look and feel.
Alliance with the use of RIAs created with Adobe Flex give
organizations a way to consolidate data
from disparate systems and drill down into
the data for deeper analysis. Data can be
automatically pushed to the dashboard,
allowing users to always have the most up-to
date view of important information. Users
can even modify data from multiple systems
and automatically push the new data back to
its source. Plus, it’s easy to make these
applications highly visual. Developers simply
drag and drop the kind of chart they want -
such as bar, column, line, or pie-into the
application. Then they link the chart to the
data it shouldreflect, and Flex builds the rich
chart automatically.
For example, executive reporting systems
can now deliver on the promise of real-time
dashboards, enabling business leaders to
make better, faster decisions based on up-tothe-
minute data, which they can drill into with a single click.Two sales representatives in different regions
can co-browse in the same application at the
same time, viewing customer data from
multiple back-end systems in the same
intuitive, highly visual UI. They can even
adjust data, such as a monthly forecast, and
leverage data services that automatically
update back-end systems in the background.
And, because they are co-browsing in the same
application, any changes made by one rep will
concurrently appear on the other rep’s screen.
- DISPLAY COMPLEX DATA IN A SIMPLE, VISUAL WAY THROUGH CHARTS AND GRAPHS
- LEAD TO MORE INFORMED DECISION MAKING BASED ON A DYNAMIC DATA INTERFACE
- ENABLE REAL-TIME BUSINESS MONITORING
- INCREASE APPLICATION UTILIZATION
- SIMPLIFY COMPLEX DATA DISPLAY
with
process integration applications
Organizations can use Flex to create RIAs
that combine services from multiple backend
systems into a real-time task- or usercentric
view of the application. Using Adobe
Flex 2 software integrated with Adobe
LiveCycle® software, a J2EE-based business
process management family of products,
organizations can integrate and automate
complex, people-centric business processes
and make them more secure. Combining
LiveCycle software with RIAs gives
organizations and their customers the benefits
of a fully integrated set of process automation
tools and rich applications to enable better
engagement, more transparency into business
processes, and increased collaboration. Business
analysts can use these applications tomonitor process efficiency and tweak
workflows to adjust for bottlenecks.
- INCREASE EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY BY TYING MULTIPLE APPLICATION BACK ENDS INTO A SINGLE, TASK-BASED WORKFLOW
- INCREASE APPLICATION USAGE WHILE DECREASING SERVER LOAD
- ELIMINATE REDUNDANT DATA ENTRY
- DECREASE PROCESSING TIMES AND REDUCE COSTLY DATA ERRORS AND MANUAL WORKAROUNDS
