March 14, 2007; 06:56 AM
Helmi Technologies Inc., the provider of an open source platform for building AJAX-based Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), is an exhibitor and speaker at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 East, the leading Web 2.0 and RIA event taking place on March 19-21, 2007 in New York City.

Helmi's AJAX-based Open Source RIA Platform is a powerful, easy-to-use toolkit for building browser-independent, highly interactive and intuitive Internet applications. Helmi development tools take the usability of Internet- based enterprise applications to the level of leading desktop software, rendering the traditional click-and-wait Web interface obsolete.

AJAXWorld brings together over 1,000 developers, architects, IT managers and software professionals in the most comprehensive meeting on the most significant technology subjects of recent times: AJAX, Rich Internet Applications and Web 2.0.

Helmi CTO Juho Risku will give two presentations at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 to discuss how the latest RIA technologies are transforming business applications as well as enabling new Web solutions to be created on the basis of usability:

-- Step by Step -- Helmi Open Source RIA Platform Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 11:35 a.m. The session provides a detailed guide to building a user interface application using the Helmi User Interface Framework and establishing AJAX data synchronization to the server with the Helmi Server Integration Framework. Helmi's UI framework enables an unprecedented quality of user experience in reliable and scalable Web applications that generate minimal network and server load. -- RIA/AJAX Architectures - Scalability, Responsiveness, End User Experience, Common Bottlenecks and Best Practices Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 5:20 p.m. This session provides an overview of various architectural approaches to AJAX and Rich Internet Applications. The session provides practical insights on how to avoid common design trade-offs in areas such as ease of use, general end-user experience and client/server/network performance bottlenecks in large-scale deployments.

"The Web 2.0 world demands new tools that allow Internet applications to be designed around superior usability," said Juho Risku, CTO and Founder of Helmi Technologies. "As a result, AJAX and other RIA technologies are exploding in popularity both in the US and Europe. The US market is the main focus for Helmi, and our goal for 2007 is to expand our partnerships with leading industry players. AJAXWorld is the most important forum for Web 2.0 professionals, and we look forward to being a part of the largest AJAX-focused speaker faculty ever assembled at a single event."

"It is a very exciting time to be in the AJAX business right now," said Jeremy Geelan, AJAXWorld Conference Chair and Sr. VP of SYS-CON Media. "One particularly compelling aspect of Rich Internet and Web 2.0 style applications is the exponential adoption rates that open-sourcing makes possible. Helmi is positioned at the sweet spot of this trend, and in a technology landscape fundamentally disrupted by AJAX. Because there are still no AJAX products with clear market dominance, the sky is the limit for any company whose platform can become a top five choice among those building, designing and deploying websites and web-based applications."
