Most web browsers no Flash to be a web delivery and development technology for websites. However, Flash is increasingly being used as a UI technology for business applications. Adobe has been promoting Flash more so than ever, now that Microsoft is pushing its Silverlight technology.
An example of a company using Flash in their in-house web applications is Siemens. Siemens and development partner Thrasys created a web-based application based on Flash for Siemen's health information system. The web-based interface unites different back-end systems via Flash and Flex to help streamline how Siemen's employees utilize shared information. Rather than re-engineering the back-end systems, they decided to replace the UI.
Flash came on the market when there were not many web development tools available. This explains the uproar overFlash. However, other developers of web tools still have room to compete with Flash, especially in the enterprise\business arena.
