Enterprises are beginning to examine how RIA technology can factor into their efforts to modernize legacy applications. Enterprise RIA based Web applications are reaching the sophistication of client-server capabilities and companies are considering modernization. Indeed, many application modernization situations involve making a trade-off between strategic long-term investment and short-term cost containment. In these situations project managers must construct the business case for a strategic investment. Application modernization using RIA requires stringent requirements beyond what general RIA platforms offer. Particular attention needs to be focused on the performance, scale and security features of the chosen platform.

Application modernization offers potential savings that can be accomplished with the use of an Enterprise RIA platform. Curl has over 400 customers, many listed in the Global 100 that have realized these savings, migrating from old client-server applications to the Web using Curl's unique client-side compile technology for superior performance.

"Firms that don't modernize anything stagnate. Doing nothing isn't an option - "nothing" is exactly what many CIOs did with their "legacy" technology in the late 1990s in the mistaken belief that it would all soon be replaced. Inaction has led us to the point where "lights-on" IT costs leave little room in the IT budget for innovation."
