Why choose the RIA approach?
Rich Internet Applications combine the benefits of desktop applications (primarily a rich, functional UI) with those of web-based applications (primarily that they are platform-independent and do not need to be installed). Our approach, leveraging the SmartClient and Smart GWT frameworks, is also fully client-server, distributing logic to where it properly belongs and making applications more responsive and scalable.
