With the continued evolution of technologies such as Adobe Flex, MS Silverlight, and AJAX, the opportunity to create richer experiences in terms of interface capabilities continues to grow.
I've worked on several projects where the was an emphasis on the creation of rich interfaces, most recently on the re-design of an internal investment banking application where the onus was to move an 8 year old system into an RIA using Adobe Flex as the front end development platform.
Working with some very talented developers we were able to introduce a new level of richness to some of the key pages of the application as described below:
- Re-design of the application home page to include several new rich features (e.g. transitions to present links / summary information) designed to provide the users with quick access to high value and high usage data and system objects.
- Design of a new default page for the client detail section of the application which included the visualisation of valuable information such as client meeting activity, global deal information, top 10 product types sold etc using Flex based charts, graphs and maps
- Hide and show functionality for optional sections of a page
- Interactive organisational chart visualisation with zoom options linked to a classic tree node style menu
- Enhancement of complex forms which included the careful implementation of progressive revelation / activation / de-activation
- Custom data grids incorporating multiple edit options
