AJAX applications have the potential to break the enterprise stranglehold currently enjoyed by provider of packaged software suite solutions. Currently, smaller software companies are challenged by the fact that potential enterprise customers, having bought a suite solution, will purchase add-on applications from the same vendor, having set a course of “standardizing” on a particular vendor’s products. But the arrival of AJAX holds out the promise of a dramatic change in this situation, as it evolves from a single application platform to a multiple application platform for business use. In this presentation, the WebEx speaker will discuss how the availability of an AJAX platform for aggregating and monetizing content is likely to dramatically transform the enterprise software business, with end-user companies no longer locked into a single software-suite provider for their applications. He/she will examine how AJAX-enabled platforms can be used to recreate the suite experience in multiple application areas, freeing companies to shop around for the best solution available – or create their own application. The speaker will also discuss how AJAX can allow businesses to recreate the desktop experience and enhance worker productivity with integrated applications. Attendees will learn: · How AJAX has evolved into an applications interaction platform · How new software companies are using AJAX integration platform to challenge traditional software suites · How AJAX platforms will drive a new generation of consumer flexibility and best-of-breed applications.
