The essence of the Internet was to serve as a compilation of scattered public information. Over the years, with large scale adoption, the Internet has been constantly evolving to redefine its raison d'etre. "Web 2.0" is simply, a new perspective to the ever-changing Internet, with a view of the paradigms that are shaping this massive movement. Cyquent's Web 2.0 competency enable companies to achieve the classic features of new-age Web 2.0 companies as outlined by Tim O' Reily:
- Services, not packaged software, with cost-effective scalability
- Control over unique, hard-to-recreate data sources
- Trusting users as co-developers
- Harnessing collective intelligence
- Leveraging the long tail through customer self-service
- Software above the level of a single device
- Lightweight user interfaces, development models, AND business models
Our early exposure to Web 2.0 has helped us build credible Strategy skills, which lend the primary differentiator to any new Web 2.0 implementation. Before embarking on a Web 2.0 project we develop a comprehensive strategy that includes clear definition of the objectives, target audience, roadmap, critical success factors, compliant technology and achievable milestones. Our expertise of Web 2.0 extends beyond our knowledge and skills of Flex, Silverlite, Ajax, SOAP, Web Services and the like. The finer skills lie in our ability to determine appropriate usage of the applicable technologies. We have implemented Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies on past Web 2.0 implementation that contributes to our repertoire of Web 2.0 technology know-how.
The term "Rich Internet Applications" (RIA) was first coined by Macromedia to underscore the capabilities of Flash to deliver not just multimedia content but also GUI-style application experiences. RIA has come of age to define an entirely new breed of web experience that is interactive, smart, effective, lightweight, and above all flexible.
RIAs are inherently more complex than traditional browser-based Web applications, and therefore present new service level management (SLM) challenges making it difficult to design, test, measure and support. Our knowledge and experience in RIA makes it possible to tackle a few of the complex issues in RIA implementation:
- Complexity of development introduced by greater creativity: We have adopted industry strandard web application development framework to standardize RIA design and development.
- Increased complexity of testing: We develop comprehensive test plan and test cases from the use-cases of the sandbox RIA to ensure coverage of testing.
- Performance issues due to asynchronous communication: We develop robust performance test plans for each asynchronous threads of RIA client engine that continually download new content and refresh display.
Cyquent’s RIA expertise allows companies to build and deploy innovative, branded desktop applications over the internet, without requiring changes to existing technology, people, or processes.
