Adobe Releases LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2

Adobe Systems Inc. announced the availability of Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2 (ES2), a software release enabling businesses and governments to build applications that improve interactions with customers and constituents across devices and channels.

Delivering productivity improvements to IT and line-of-business managers, LiveCycle ES2 provides a rich Internet application (RIA) framework for building customizable RIA workspaces, mobile and desktop access to applications, and deployment in the cloud.

Adobe said its LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2 includes the following software:

- Adobe LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 is a composite RIA framework for assembling and engaging activity-centric enterprise applications. LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 provides knowledge workers with real-time, contextual information from multiple sources in a single, personalized view. Developers can extend existing applications by exposing their business logic and user interfaces into application "tiles" that can be assembled to create unified views.

- Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service (formerly Adobe Flash Collaboration Service) is a new hosted service accessible on the free, ubiquitous Adobe Flash Player runtime that provides developers and enterprises with a scalable solution to build real-time, multi-user collaboration into existing or new RIAs.

- A new LiveCycle ES2 plug-in for Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta lets developers embed LiveCycle ES2 technologies into any Flex based application.

- Adobe enterprise customers will have the option to deploy LiveCycle ES2 in the cloud, hosted in the Amazon Web Services cloud computing environment. LiveCycle ES2 in the cloud provides organizations with a faster deployment path.

LiveCycle ES2 integrates with Adobe PDF technologies for accessibility using Adobe Reader, Flash Player software or Web browsers.

Adobe LiveCycle ES2 is currently available. The Adobe LiveCycle ES2 cloud deployment option is expected to become available in early 2010.
