Hi all and welcome to my blog on RIAs and BI.
RIA and BI are the two words that excites me the most, in other words they are the sole reason of me writing about them on this blog.
I am a constant believer of the fact that Business intelligence and Rich Internet Applications can create a blend of rich,intuitive,simpler BI Applications which can work wonders in BI space.
I will be blogging more on topics related to RIAs and RIA Market Trends and Technologies such as Microsoft’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), AJAX, Adobe’s Flex / Flash/APOLLO and topics like BI/DW and RIAs.
Though my focus is primarly on how the internet applications are evolving, i choose to write about RIAs becasue RIAs are the front runners in evolving internet applications and giving new dimensions to it.
The raw powerfullness of RIAs is that it provides client rich applications with high performance, enabling desktop experience on the web browser. We can leverage our existing skills to develop RIAs to provide data rich applications with compelling user experience.This helps clients to leverage the advantages of web based architecture and performance comparable to desktop applications.
You will see me speaking more on User Experiene(Ux),Usability of applications as well.

Hi Saurabh
You have chosen a very good area to blog about. BI and RIA are two very hot area in IT currently. BI is simplifying the complex and vast data that is available in world (and increasing daily) RIA on the other hand is helping people consume this vast data in a simpler and meaningful manner.
Looking forward to a lot more interesting posts from you.

hi tarun,
thanks for your appreciation.
As you pointed BI has come a log way and RIA technologies like adobe flex and other rich technologies(RIA technologies) have added wings to BI.Presentation of huge clusters of data has become so simple and can easily be depicted on your screen. BI systems have become more and more accessible and is now not only available to the biggies in the organisation but also to the people who measure daily pulse of the day to day operational efficiency of the business, and thus making BI systems simpler/user friendly and more informative is the need of the hour.Thus RIAfying Business Intelligence systems is a win win situation for both business and its users.
