Over the next few days we will be exploring various advantages and disadvantages of using Silverlight as the underlying technology for our suite of cloud-enabled products.  Recently, we released version 4 of RiteTrack Design Studio.  Built on Microsoft’s Silverlight platform and available on the web, Design Studio allows garage enthusiasts and large organizations alike to quickly and efficiently produce cloud-ready applications. Silverlight enables RiteTrack 4 to  offer an extremely rich user experience similar to a traditional desktop application, but enjoys the benefits of the web distribution model.   Coupled with our state-of-the-art hosting services, Handel’s low cost platform offering is very attractive.
