Built For

• Managers

• AJAX developers

• Non-AJAX developers Oracle PL/SQL developers

• End-Users

waiting impatiently for the benefits of Web
2.0 at the office

Our Philosophy

• AJAX is a game changer

• Software development should be getting easier

• Combine AJAX with thick database for the
  ultimate application development environment for
  the Enterprise.

What do we do?

• We didnt invent AJAX

• We didnt invent the Oracle database

• We just make them work better together

by leveraging the power of thick database
architecture

Why Thick Database?

• Harness power and performance of Oracle

• Reduce network congestion and latency between App
  Server and Database server

• Eliminate slow ODBC/JDBC calls

• Eliminate unparsed and un-tuned SQL statements

• Makes the application code data-aware

• Utilizes Oracle features for scalability

• Lower cost of ownership by leveraging existing
  Oracle investment and staff skills

10
Why Thick Database? (cont.)

• Application code is stored in compiled packages
  in the database for fastest performance

• One backup and recovery process for both
  application and data

• Rapid deployment and enhancements

• Smaller development team

• Get more value out of your Oracle DB investment

11
Think about this

• What is the probability that UI languages will be
  the same next year?

• What is the probability that your database will
  be the same next year?

12
Benefit to Managers

• Utilize a Thick DB approach to save money by
  cutting middle tier infrastructure and
  maintenance.

• Utilize your current Oracle resources to build
  and run RIA without new hardware, software and
  development skills.

• Quickly deliver beautiful Rich Internet
  Applications to your customers

13
Benefit to AJAX Developers
An end-to-end framework for the enterprise

• User account management and authentication
• Security for every AJAX call-back
• Tight Database integration
• Built-in library of AJAX-enabled APIs (or add
  your own)

Focus on creating the RIAdont worry about the
plumbing.
14
Benefit to non-AJAX PL/SQL Developers

• Same benefits that AJAX Developers get plus

• Bring AJAX (and Flash) capability to more people
  to build Enterprise Web 2.0 Rich Internet
  Applications

• PL/SQL Developers can get started immediately

ALL
Why should everyone have to recreate the cool UI
features and then figure out how to integrate
with the Enterprise data?

RIA Examples

Zimbra
Google Docs

16
Slow Enterprise Adoption

• Complexity of AJAX code

• AJAX opens numerous back-doors

• Most RIA offerings are focused only on the
  front-end

• Legacy languages need additional add-ons for RIA

• Need to retrain enterprise developers

17
Benefits of combining AJAX Database

• Leverage Oracle features for scalability and
  performance

• Build Enterprise-class RIA applications right out
  of the database using the skills you already have

• Contains AJAX and Flash stored in the database

• Just use PL/SQL to call the APIs to build RIA
  components

• AJAX calls from browser to database are
  authenticated

• Flexible and open standard for customization and
  third party tool integration

Get AJAX without AJAX coding
18
RIA and ORACLE

• AJAX and Flash are great for delivering RIA

• Oracle is the top performing database

RIA ORACLE

• turbo tur-boh noun
• Informal. TURBOCHARGER.
• An internal-combustion engine boosted with a
  turbocharger.
• An Oracle database boosted with an RIA
  development platform
• Leverage your existing Oracle investment for
  higher returns

20

• A development library
  for building Rich Internet Applications using
  Oracle PL/SQL to call predefined AJAX enabled
  objects.
• Get AJAX without AJAX coding

• A compiled patent
  pending virtual n-tier architecture that contains
  all components for enterprise solutions.
• Security
• UI rendering
• Stored business logic
• Optimized performance
