Here in my department at Duke University, we use several RIA's to power web-based applications that were unfriendly and hard to mantain as normal CFML/HTML applications. We've found the RIA's to be much more reliable, rather than having to worry about javascript, frames, browser-compatibility, etc. IT's made my life as a programmer a lot easier, and the users really like the interface. Also, our Alumni Affairs office is looking into using the Intro Networks application to enhance communication between alumni, both in our online directory and for smaller events like reunions and such. It's a great app, and does things that you simply couldn't do with a web-based app. See www.intronetworks.com My next project is to convert a report request form into something more friendly... I'm going to do it as a rich internet app in Flash because it'll give me a lot more control over input validation. I also built a flash-based membership directory for a client, because the wanted to publish their email addresses but wanted them to be more difficult to spider the email address... http://www.aaabor.com/directory.cfm (BTW the backend for that app is coldfusion 4.5.2!
