From Linux Desktop to Virtual Desktop: How AJAX and HTML5 Change Perspectives
As part of its Research & Development activities, Nexedi analyzes technology trends which may impact the future environment in which ERP5 will be used. As a member of the Free Cloud Alliance (FCA), Nexedi contributes to the advance of a Cloud Computing economy based on Freedom and Open Source.
In this whitepaper, we analyzed the trend in relation to the Desktop and its applications. Trends in relation to the Desktop can impact both the environment in which business applications such as ERP5 are used and the technologies which will be used in future business applications. This whitepaper tried to analyze real world case studies and not only abstract features because we believe that comparing features is never sufficient to compare the value of technologies. Only real world experience can tell what a technology is worth. Moreover, we tried to conduct our analysis in a way which is independent of any integration services which could be provided in relation with ERP5.
