Being the quickest and most effective technology with its extensive library of components and totally customizable framework, combined with the ubiquity of flash player and our vast expertise in delivering RIA.

Benefits of Flex

Flex is developer toolset for flash applications.

Designers and developers can work together by sharing assets between Flash and Flex.

Flex provide stateful client

Flex applications provide a stateful client where significant changes to the view don't require loading a new page.

No need to change in backend logic

When the back-end was built following the SOA pattern then it is usually very easy to expose those services out to a new Flex UI. This preserves your existing business logic whether it is in EJBs, Spring services, POJOs, etc.

Open source Support

Flex SDK is open source. The core of Flash Player is the Tamarin Virtual Machine, which is an open source project under Mozilla.

What is Flex?
Flex is a free, open source framework for building highly interactive, expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. It provides a modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common design patterns. MXML, a declarative XML-based language, is used to describe UI layout and behaviors, and ActionScript 3, a powerful object-oriented programming language, is used to create client logic. Flex also includes a rich component library with more than 100 proven, extensible UI components for creating rich Internet applications (RIAs), as well as an interactive Flex application debugger.
Why Choose Flex? Better choice for interactive, media and data centric applications
Flex is very good for interactive, media, and data-centric applications. If your application is somewhere in between the two sides of that spectrum, then you can use the Flex Ajax Bridge to combine the two technologies. In Flex 3, the Flex Ajax Bridge is integrated directly into the SDK.
There are numerous examples of enterprise applications being developed with Adobe Flex, including work at: Oracle, IBM Corporation, Cisco, Bae System,Workday, SAP, Salesforce, and Business Objects.

Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES provides a comprehensive set of data-enabling features for using data in RIAs. It enables RIAs to talk to back-end data and business logic in a faster, more efficient operating model.
BlazeDS is a free, open source project providing Flex Remoting and Messaging to all developers. Flex Remoting provides a binary, serialized data transport format called Action Message Format (AMF) to provide a fast, efficient means of transporting data to your RIA, which accelerates application performance. Flex Remoting also makes it fast and easy for developers to connect to back-end business logic and data. Flex Messaging adds real-time data push and publish/subscribe, both powerful capabilities now made easy.
