COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION
• Being rebuilt for the 4th time
• Moving with the best available technology of the time
• Dedicating significant portion of our budget to development
• Always listening to our customers
• Combining the best of our past systems
BASIC HTML (7 YEARS)
• Two different versions
• Worked in all browsers
• Very limited ability to have a robust front end UI
• Benefits • Low memory footprint
• You could bookmark pages and jump right to them
• Open tabs in different windows
MOVE TO FLEX / FLASH (7 YEARS)
• Environment of the time • Chrome didn’t exist
• IE 6, FF 3
• jQuery was brand new
• Flex was seen as the best tool at the time for really large enterprise applications
• Few standards that were followed
• No iPhone
• Debugging in html was almost non-existent
• Usage pattern was to log in at the beginning of the day and keep it open all day
TODAY
• People work differently with their computers
• Computers travel with you everywhere
• Phones and tablets go with you everywhere
• Constantly online

you need in 5 seconds
• Expect easy-to-use, focused apps
