Technology Independent UI Framework for Service Providers

Abstract

Business agility is the key driver for successful enterprises. This is very common in the service industry where service provider has to develop the service and keep it up to date with the technology and industry trends. We present a framework which we created to focus on business feature development at the client side (browser), isolating developers from rapid changes in UI technology. This allowed us for a quick movement to a new UI platform with minimal changes in the existing logic. We demonstrate the importance of such a framework and the challenges faced during the framework development. We also reference some of the open platforms which have developed a framework similar to us and how they won over their competitors. Finally, we compare the cost of developing the framework with the cost of business agility.
