This cooperation comes up with a low cost products, because RIA present to the developer all what he needs to create a full application with easy to use tools which saves a lot of time and money. The other advantage of RIA applications is the availability to be optimized for other platforms than the web, using a pre-planning steps and some modification in the product. It can be used for other environments such as desktop and mobile devices, which saves cost, effort and time as well.
Finally, the expectations are great from macromedia new technology RIA to create eye-catching, interactive and dynamic application.
