Ajax Rich Internet Applications

The deployment of business applications has historically forced solution developers to choose between two, often less than optimal, models: "thick" desktop installed applications or "thin" web browser-accessible applications.

With TIBCO General Interface™, enterprises get the best of both worlds: the low cost of ownership of web applications and the rich graphical user interface features, speed, and performance of thick clients.

General Interface leverages the asynchronous communications, JavaScript, XML and DHTML (Ajax) capabilities present in the ubiquitous web browser so you can deliver rich internet applications (RIAs) with no applets, plug-ins, or installation of client/server frameworks.

Ajax represents "a big step towards the Holy Grail of having the kinds of speed and responsiveness in Web-based programs that's usually associated with desktop software."

- The Wall Street Journal

Now you can quickly create and easily deploy full-screen rich client functionality in a browser or include rich features right in existing web pages, web applications, and portal pages that connect to real-time, event-driven, and service-oriented systems across a wide range of platforms.

By using General Interface, you can gain competitive advantage while driving down the cost of solution development and deployment.
