From BPM to ERP, Adobe LiveCycle bridges apps across the board
Flash and PDF combine with J2EE server to streamline IT development and reduce support costs
By Mike Heck
November 1, 2007
In this detailed product review by InfoWorld Test Center, contributing editor Mike Heck uses Adobe® LiveCycle® Workbench ES software to build two applications:
- A mortgage application similar to what financial institutions might use to initiate and manage loans
- A Form Guide to help users step through an application process with an intuitive, Adobe Flash® based interface
"Both tests resulted in applications that were easy to deploy and administer with intuitive user interfaces. Moreover, there were no development pain points as I created forms and then inserted the business logic to secure and route them, output to PDF and Flash, and performed related tasks, including e-mail notifications."
He also tests LiveCycle Workspace ES, the rich Internet application (RIA) that serves as a portal for users to interact with forms and processes.

"First and foremost, [Adobe LiveCycle ES] hones in on Adobe's specialty — providing customers and employees with a gratifying experience when using your data-driven applications. In turn, as more people use these automated processes, organizations should be able to reduce paperwork, improve turnaround time for requests, and see cost reductions as labor-intensive support is reduced."
