According to Jnan Dash, Chief Strategy Officer of Curl, 2008 and beyond will see increased adoption of Web 2.0 in the enterprise. 'But the door for this entry will be RIAs (Rich Internet Applications),' Dash notes, 'rather than mash-ups or blogs or wikis.' An industry veteran who spent ten years at Oracle Corporation and was the Group Vice President, Systems Architecture and Technology till 2002, Dash adds: 'Big players like Microsoft (Silverlight) and Adobe (AIR - Adobe Integrated Runtime) have joined the race for RIA. But they lack the critical dimensions of scalability, performance, and security, very important for large enterprises.'
