Build applications on the appropriate platform
I don?t quite understand what this company is doing. Wouldn?t it be simpler for the company to provide downloads of its applications to run on a person?s PC? This would allow the company to rapidly evolve its applications, and not worry about the limited headroom provided by RIA in-browser technologies. There are also of course performance issues related to a person?s Internet connectivity (which can vary), along with the prudence of forgoing a person?s available PC horsepower, and over burdening the company?s servers. In other words, it is far more efficient to use up the local power on a person?s PC using an installed application, then use the company?s servers to do things like display and share files among users, create community services, and maybe augment local processing through maybe server farms for serious power users.

I believe instead of using Flex to build its applications, the company should use Flex to provide a first rate community service that pulls people in to use its desktop products and online services. It just doesn?t make any sense to me to try and build powerful applications on a platform that cannot support it.
