Overview

Rich Internet Application (RIA) development is found throughout the Salesboom system and is primarily used for time saving features. Salesboom is leading the Web 2.0 front for CRM & ERP by continuously adding AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) components that allow for real time interaction with the server, without the need for a page refresh. Comet features allow the client (browser) to be notified from the server based on any event, thus reducing the need to poll the server continuously for the client to recognize that an event has occurred. Comet also reduces the wait time from event to user notification as events are pushed to the client from the server as they occur.

The combination of AJAX and Comet, among other technologies allows Salesboom CRM to act more like a desktop application than other browser-based CRM applications. This results in a more user-friendly, time saving CRM with higher adoption rates.
