There was a special today at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf next to our office: free tea lattes. So Matt Ray (@mattray) and I decided to test two of them: the English Breakfast Latte and the Scottish Breakfast Tea Latte. Matt Ray tries each, and tells us which is best, if any of them.

There’s few enterprise-y scenarios more fraught with pit-falls than converting the medical industry over to paperless, getting rid off all those paper and pen forms doctors, nurses, and hospital staff seem to have a tragic romance with. Thanks to the sheer beauty of new form factors, like the iPad, the folks at Ensemble have been finding success using enterprise RIA as the way to digitize medical records. Ensemble’s Vlad Ghelesel shows us a demo of Ensembles approach to solving this problem.

Our discussion of enterprise RIA starts with Adobe’s Ben Watson who explains what this enterprise RIA concept is and why it matters to companies.

Next up, in our enterprise RIA series we talk with Universal Mind’s Chris Rogers who talks to us about the process and tactics of doing an enterprise RIA project. I tend to think that “has a good user experience” is a different requirement to push through a project, so I wanted to hear how Universal Mind manages to do it. Chris gives a good, quick overview based on their word in the field.

After going over enterprise RIAs project and process talk, Universal Mind’s Chris Rogers shows us an enterprise RIA prototype they’ve built that around cellphone users interacting with their account across different form factors, including a kiosk that we see on the show floor.
