Rich Internet Applications
Rich Internet Applications (RIA) are the next step in the evolution of modern web applications. They offer a rich, engaging experience that improves user satisfaction and increases productivity. Using the broad reach of the Internet, RIAs can be deployed across browsers and desktops. They promise the richness, interactivity, and usability lacking in many of today’s applications. As with any technology transition, this implies that there are new opportunities to be explored and new challenges to be negotiated.

- Offer users a richer, more engaging experience

RIA as Frontend Face with SOA
In the last few years, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has gained acceptance as an
architectural paradigm to organize and manage enterprise resources as loosely coupled services
that can be orchestrated to compose business processes. While enterprises are revamping their
middle and back-end technology stacks using SOA, they are challenged to make these services
available to end-users in an interactive and intuitive way.
RIAs will help in unleashing the true power of an SOA enterprise. While enterprise business logic
and data are exposed as services (business and data) using SOA, RIAs will help these
services to reach their intended end-users in an interactive, intuitive, and intelligent way. These
services may not only be SOAP web services but also simple REST services or xml-rpc services.
RIA technology like Adobe FLEX is applied by emvia to develop cutting-edge integrated Web solutions that deliver extraordinary results. We have proven expertise in Rich Internet Application Development for simple to complex web sites. With the help of RIA, the enterprise software vendors are extending the reach of their systems to business users’ media-rich interactive applications.

Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence is a longstanding buzzword that sits at the top of the list for many companies' technologies requiring investment, but what does it actually mean?
We see Business Intelligence as a set of processes, capabilities and deliverables that enable fact-based decision making. Well implemented Business Intelligence aims to ensure that automated, repeatable and auditable results are delivered to key personnel is a timely manner.
Business Intelligence solutions can present content in the form of:
RIAs that offer organizations a proven, cost-effective way to deliver modern applications with real business benefits:
- Reports (Operational, Corporate, Management, and Board)
- Metrics
- KPIs
- Charts
- Maps and Gauges
- Ad-hoc Analysis
- OLAP, Cubes, and Trend Identification
- Predictive Analytics and Data Mining
- Dashboards and Scorecards
- Report Books
We believe that the major philosophy behind Business Intelligence is to “present the best information, in the most appropriate format to the right people at the required time”.
This means that we see BI as having 4 components:
- Information, data, or content
- Format, layout, or presentation method
- Users
- Time (includes both the accessibility and the age of the information)
