Why will the market embrace Rich Internet Applications
In our 20+ years of experience in Software Development and IT the
only sure thing has been CHANGE. Therefore, we can conclude that the
way we develop Internet applications will also change for these reasons:
- Development tools and IT Infrastructure are available: Laszlo
Systems' Laszlo Presentation Server is in it's 2.0 release that
allows us to deploys RIAs.
- Industry studies by independent companies like IDC1, Shop.org2,
Genex/Synovate3 and DoubleClick4 have said that RIA will alleviate
these problems that are plaguing the traditional Internet applications:
- 60% of consumers are discouraged by unsatisfactory shopping
experience1
- As much as 75% of potential customers abandon their carts2
- 30% of online shoppers say they would stop shopping at
an offline store if the online store does not meet their expectations3
- 25% are more likely to purchase product from a retailer
they have visited online4
- 65% of US Internet shoppers won't patronize a poorly designed
website3
- Two of the big and established software players have made the
RIA market legit:
- Macromedia with Flex entered the market in the first half
of 2004.
- Microsoft with the Longhorn's rich-client will begin to
enter the RIA space in 3-5 years
