Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite (ES4) is an SOA Java EE server software product from Adobe Systems Incorporated used to build applications that automate a broad range of business processes for enterprises and government agencies. LiveCycle ES4 is an enterprise document and form platform that allows capturing and processing information, delivering personalized communications, and protecting and tracking sensitive information. It is used to deliver solutions such as account opening, services and benefits enrollment, correspondence management, request for proposal processes, and other manual based workflows. LiveCycle ES4 incorporates new features with a particular focus on mobile devices. LiveCycle applications also function in both online or offline environments. These capabilities are enabled through the use of Adobe Reader, HTML/PhoneGap and the Flash Player clients to reach desktop computers and mobile devices.

The LiveCycle platform is made up of a number of integrated solution components and developer tools, some of which are discussed below.

LiveCycle ES4 solution components are various types of services available to developers including those needed to capture information, manage and optimize processes,secure information, invoke web services, create documents, and integrate with other applications and data sources. The solution components leverage shared "foundation" services which include administration and configuration services, service orchestration, invocation methods across components, and encryption services.

LiveCycle Forms Standard allows users to create and deploy XML-based form templates as PDF, for use with the Adobe Reader. Forms can be saved for offline use in the free Adobe Reader when they are reader extended, a capability included in Forms Standard. LiveCycle Forms ES4 supports data driven forms by merging XML content to create personalized renditions.

LiveCycle Forms Pro includes FormsStandard and adds the ability to render Mobile Forms for mobile devices using HTML5 and a Forms Management capability. Forms Management allows business users to manage and deploy forms to a forms portal.

LiveCycle DataServices is a framework that simplifies development of Flex and AIR applications. It includes functionality for messaging, remoting, data management, and PDF creation of RIA interfaces. It solves complex data management problems such as maintaining a single instance of data across the application. With LiveCycle Data Services, information can be synchronized across clients and applications, providing a framework for conflict resolution in real time. It can be used for real time systems like data streaming in the trading.
