Accelerating decision-making with an executive cockpit

Sharp Electronics used the Adobe® Flash® Platform to deploy an executive "cockpit" application that informs core executives of key SAP data, facilitating rapid responses to emerging trends. The data is presented in an Adobe AIR® application on a 65-inch interactive display.

Why the Flash Platform worked

  • The Flash Platform is ideal for developing intuitive, interactive data expression.
  • The development environment dramatically accelerated time to deployment.
  • The Flash Player supports diverse screens, including Sharp's 65-inch Liquid Crystal monitor.
  • The Flash Platform allows integration of a rich user interface with enterprise applications like SAP.
