Rich Internet Applications

Rich Internet Applications are spreading and websites are converting from their old static Web 1.0 to the interactive Web 2.0 about as fast as possible. The reason is because RIAs provide a level of user involvement that designers have wanted for a long time. Even though the technology has been around since 1998, it didn’t reach the critical mass necessary to become a revolution until a couple of years ago when OpenLaszlo made it easy.

iCatchIT has been evolving into a web design center as the demand for RIA-enabled sites has increased. We now have a team of developers and designers who work almost exclusively in OpenLaszlo. Our ability to create web-based applications has grown exponentially over the past two years. One of our more popular applications is our Human Resource Information that we showcased at SODEC, a Japanese conference in Tokyo, in May, 2007.

By using advanced technologies, such as Asynchronous JavaScripts and SML (AJAX) and enhanced user interfaces (Web 2.0), RIAs circumvent the slow, synchronous loops associated with traditional web applications. AJAX is the future and represents a compelling solution for a broad array of applications.

Our database designs include input-output and concurrent load requirements to deliver optimized storage and retrieval information. We work with most popular database platforms including MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.

The iCatchIT Advantage

  • Innovation

    Our advanced applications group delivers information. Leveraging creativity and advanced Web 2.0 technologies our designs propel businesses forward, bringing elegance and efficiency but most of all results.

  • Responsive Applications

    Using AJAX and optimized database methodologies iCatchIT engineers deliver applications that respond 5 to 10 times faster than traditional web 1.0 applications. Web 2.0 enhancements offer new frontiers of possibility for organizations. Personnel spend less time waiting for the screen to respond and more time performing the tasks at hand. For example a login which required 15 seconds can now be performed almost instantly (average <1 second for all iCatchIT applications).

  • Intuitive User Interface Designs

    Using advanced technologies, iCatchIT designers lead users through intuitive workflows that are both precise and streamlined. At iCatchIT we deliver clutter-free information.

  • Professional Project Management

    Innovation, speed, and intuitive UIs are only part of a successful project. Experienced projecy management and proven software development methodologies deliver managed risk and predictable results.
