Two trends in applications architecture - AJAX RIA on the client side and service-orientation on the server side - are enabling powerful enterprise solutions that can be leveraged in diverse business environments. In this session, Michael Peachy will use real-world case studies to demonstrate how organizations are taking advantage of both of these advancements in application architecture to provide AJAX rich Internet applications that double the applicability of SOA investments. Attendees will hear how to deliver feature rich, high-productivity end-user applications to the business desktop.

Michael Peachey is product manager and director of engineering for TIBCO Software’s acclaimed AJAX and Rich Internet Application (RIA) toolkit: TIBCO General Interface. A recognized leader in AJAX innovation, Michael co-founded General Interface in 2000 with a vision for applications that performed like desktop GUIs, but ran in the browser. Since 2000 he has overseen the development of AJAX frameworks and solutions that have powered astoundingly rich Web applications in demanding Fortune 500 and U.S. Government deployments. Michael has furthered this vision with TIBCO since the 2004 acquisition of General Interface Corp. He has worked with leading businesses such as American Express, Hearst Publishing, Intuit, and many others to deliver business solutions optimized around Internet technologies since 1992.
