A local SQLite database to store information on file versions (for use with sales projections, case studies and other PDF files downloaded) as well as auto-update for latest versions of the application. The application also ensured any new 'external' pdf files were downloaded and copied into the correct directories, overwriting older versions to ensure everyone had up-to-the-date information. More and more companies are starting to use AIR in this way. It provides a seamless, smooth and impressive interface for staff to use to present to the client. It's been in use like this for a while, and I'm sure it will be used this way for some time to come.
