The productivity enhancements translate directly to the bottom line when it comes to reducing development costs and the time to bring new applications to market."
Thomas Gonzalez

"With Flex 2, we can bring the interactivity and performance of our web application to new levels. Our customers have the direct experience of seeing and feeling their cards come together. We have access to all fonts on a customer's system, and people can easily drag and drop images and resize them to achieve the exact look they want. It's an experience that we can create only by developing a rich interface in Flex."
Bill Spencer
CTO
Digital Primates
"Flex 2 is a rich, open development environment that enables us to extend the capabilities of today's enterprise applications – and provide a foundation for delivering an entirely new class of web services in the future. With Flex, we can reliably integrate with existing enterprise messaging infrastructures and deploy interfaces that guarantee richer, more engaging end user experiences."
Michael Labriola
Founding Partner
Duke University School of Medicine
"Flex offers a powerful environment for responding to the changing needs of educators and students. In addition to using Flex to develop a dynamic web-based applicant review system, we are creating interactive online services to enable students to share class notes, schedule study sessions, and initiate more collaborative learning activities."
"Application interfaces developed in Flex 2 address the reality that we face daily in higher education—widely varied computing environments. Students, administrators, and faculty work on their preferred computing platforms and software applications. With no computing standards in higher education, Flex and our Flash content offers a reliable, consistent way to reach our intended audience anywhere on any device."

"The electronic health records market is filled with solutions that are big on functionality, yet small on ease of use. With Flex-developed RIAs, we can combine everything -- powerful functionality, database integration, and ease of use – into a single application. It's an important advantage that helps us stand out in a crowded HER market."
Jim Schneider
President
ESRI
"Flex 2 makes it easier to integrate our web services with backend systems to provide customers with more interactive, useful experiences. Now, instead of deploying applications that require users to constantly query our system, we can push relevant information out to users in real time—long before they know it is available."
Mansour Raad
Senior Software Architect
Gevasys/VWD Group
"The engaging Flex interface is driving new business to the Volks- and Raiffeisen banks. Since deploying the new web services, the volume of customers opening online accounts has increased 33 percent. Equally important, the quality of customers submitting inquiries online has improved, with more than 90 percent of interested customers qualifying for and accessing bank services."
John Weber
Managing Director

"With Flex, complex data sets can be presented simply and visually reducing the cycle time to decision making or providing a significant enhancement to the overall User Experience. This RIA approach offers business managers valuable insight into business performance—whether it be sales, portfolio management, customer views or operational metrics."

Boston IBM Global Services
MTV Networks
"Flex 2 and RIAs support our goals of building and designing rich media experiences that reshape how users experience content. At MTV, we reinvented the look and feel of television—now we're doing the same thing with user experiences on the web."
"Flex 2 delivers essential elements for creating and maintaining web services—better developer productivity, an expanded set of powerful tools, easily scalable applications, and a consistent, reliable framework. Combined, these capabilities help us extend our position as a leader in delivering compelling, interactive digital content."

Chief Technology Officer, MTV Networks
New Era Cap
"Developing an RIA in Flex was the fastest, most efficient way to improve our system for processing custom artwork requests. HTML does not support the complex online interactions our application demands because of the time it takes to refresh and reload multiple screens. In contrast, the Flex-based applications enable sales reps to work in one comprehensive interface to build and submit artwork requests in minutes."
Brian Szoszorek
Lead Online Applications Developer
New Toronto Group
"The RIAs that we create and deploy with Flex give our clients a competitive advantage. Through more interactive, responsive web services, our clients can increase sales and continually attract more customers to their web sites. Our recent work with Bell Canada is an excellent example."
Glenn James

Nimblefish
"The Eclipse integration in Flex 2 is terrific. We use Eclipse as Java developers, and with Flex 2, there is no big migration issue because we can leverage our existing expertise to create more advanced RIAs."
Gever Tulley
Chief Technology Officer

"Developing in Flex 2 gives us the opportunity to put more thought into creating dashboards for our business intelligence applications. Instead of having mostly static front-end pages in HTML, we can develop richer, more engaging interfaces that support visualizations for improved data analysis and communicating results."
"Flex 2 is the best development platform out there for overcoming problems delivering applications that operate in a variety of web browsers. We can create leading-edge interfaces that support the experiences that end users want today—and the types of web experiences that will be common in the future."
Jimmy Gianninas
RIA Developer
Rotech Healthcare
"Dashboards need to make data actionable or they are just fancy reporting tools. This application goes much further than a typical dashboard by educating our Location Managers on why our metrics are so important to running the business effectively. It also helps them to improve their performance by specifying how to fix problems."
Mike Dobbs
COO
Roundarch
"Flex 2 enables us to create end user experiences that the web has yet to deliver. Into a single user experience, we can combine rich functionality, video, and multiple views into diverse applications. It is creating a new model for web services."
"Flex 2 breaks down alls between front-end interfaces and enterprise applications. It's now easier to do composite applications with an SAP web server, better integrating client-facing and backend systems. With Flex, we are raising the standard for RIA development by further integrating data persistence, pageless navigation, and the ability to push data and services out to end users."
Jeff Maling
President
SAP
"SAP is continually working to enhance the user experience, simplify the ways in which information workers access and use business information, and enable SAP users to work within the environments and interfaces where they are most comfortable. By offering robust technology in Flex and Flash, Adobe is a key partner in these efforts. We are very excited to extend the enhancements in Flash Player 9 to our xApp Analytics customers. Adobe is providing a very rich, easy-to-use and familiar interface to SAP xApp Analytics, further improving the SAP user experience while leveraging the power of SAP applications."

"By developing applications in Flex 2, we maximize the reach of our applications—a critical accomplishment at universities, where students, faculty and administrators often work in different environments. With Flex, we don't have to waste time and resources testing applications for different browser types or worrying about performance across machines. As a result, we can develop and deploy a wider range of applications faster."
