MX7 w/ flash forms make all the upper level management types go nuts, but I'm not so easily impressed

No. We're kind of a low tech shop, and w/ the recent round of layoffs I don't see us moving to use any new technology anytime soon....

Coldfusion w/ a Oracle DB along with Crystal Reports seems to work well for us for our intranet/reports needs...

We have started exploiting MX7's Asynchronous Gateway functionality for some of our more data intensive applications...

Coldfusion is the devil.

Flash is alright in moderation. At my new job, they developed alot of Flash programs that rely on XML to load sequences of photos for galleries and slideshows for their corporate page.
