LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 is a customizable RIA workspace that provides knowledge workers with a relevant view of information that they can manipulate, analyze and act upon, to improve decision making and process efficiency. Users can switch between multiple tasks without losing work in progress, and can save workspaces to return to later, preserving data context on the server. Users can also access workspaces while disconnected from the servers via an Adobe AIR desktop application, and can connect remotely from a browser client on both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
