Keeping in mind the portal's consumer facing and mission critical nature, ICICI direct.com chose Silverlight 4.0 to strengthen their online presence primarily due to its Rich Internet Application capabilities. “Considering how quickly the web and our online customers are evolving, the need for a rich user environment is fast becoming a factor critical to success.

The traditional online portal currently in use, is built using ASP/ASP.Net technologies (Web 2.0) and supported by a thick client application for users who want a localized application on their desktop.
