Jeff Whatcott, senior director of product marketing, Enterprise and Developer Business Unit, Adobe.
Along with the article is a Flex Article on the dev center that helps you understand how to create rich portlets using Adobe Flex.

Of course it makes sense to use Flex in plenty of Enterprise solutions, especially when complementing other Adobe products like LiveCycle or PDF related offerings. For example we just heard of Kodak creating a document workflow application using Adobe PDF Print Engine and Flex. Well, recently Steven Webster just wrote an overview of the benefits of Adobe LiveCycle and Flex solutions. Its well worth the read.
