Just Published: MarketScope for Ajax Technology and RIA Platforms by Leading Analyst Firm Rates Microsoft as "Positive"

  • Article

As RIA and user experience is becoming the differentiator, as well as helping drive productivity more often in most emerging applications, I thought sharing some analyst research on this might be helpful. The first-ever MarketScope on Ajax Technology and RIA Platforms has been published. The report – released December 29, 2008 under the title "MarketScope for Ajax Technology and RIA Platforms" by analyst Ray Valdes – delivers valuable information about the RIA and Ajax market. Given the fragmentation of the market I find these this type of reports helpful to as they highlight there is approximately 150 different currently available offerings.

Some highlights:

  • Gartner says “The market is at the stage where there is a high degree of fragmentation and diversity.” They also “estimate that the majority of Global 1000 companies have experimented with Ajax or RIA technologies, from more than one vendor.” Gartner writes, “There are about 150 or more vendors and toolkits covering the broad spectrum of technology choices, which range from lightweight Ajax to extended-browser (Flash, Java and Silverlight) to outside-the-browser (AIR, WPF, Expeditor and JavaFX).”
