ComActivity delivers software that is web-based - looks and feels like a desk-top application, but uses the internet for deployment ease and connectivity to services.

Adobe Flex

Adobe Flex is taking the development of web-based applications to the next level. Flex is a highly productive, free open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. The real power in Flex comes from the fact that essential logic is stored on the client, so requests don’t need to be posted to the server every time the user makes a change. Imagine clicking on a column title and the column automatically sorts without reloading the page. This saves hits to the web server, application server, database and network – for one user this may not be a big deal, but what about 1000 users, or 10 000 users.

Rich interface benefits for all users

Adobe Flex is based on Adobe Flash. This delivers 2 major advantages – firstly – it means applications can be far richer – better graphics, more interactive, and faster responses. Secondly, with Flash Player penetration almost universal – 99% of all internet-enabled laptops and desktops - this real-time rich experience can be easily delivered on a range of platforms – Windows, Macs or Unix.

Proven power

Adobe Flex, which is industry standard open source since 2007, has proven itself cross-platform for 10 years, and is compliant with the Java and Eclipse environment.
