Why web applications?

More and more enterprise applications are being moved to the web due to various advantages it presents such as:

• Better collaboration
• Centralised data storage
• Platform independence
• Ease of upgrades
• Mobility
• Ease of access
• Better availability

Better collaboration

Since multiple users can log into a web based application, information can be better shared and collaborated among the users within the application itself, eliminating the need for external communication. Some information can be automatically pushed out to the users as various events occur so that everyone has immediate access to the most current data.

Centralised data storage

One of the biggest challenges in desktop based enterprise applications is the fragmentation of data. Since data is stored in several locations, (in most cases, in each user's desktop), not all data may be current and accessible at all times. There's also the possibility of data duplication and conflicts. Web applications use a centralised data storage located on the server (typically a database), ensuring that all data is current and consistent.

Platform independence

Traditionally, desktop applications are restricted to one specific operating system. In order to have the same application available on a different operating system, a separate version of the same application had to be re-developed for that particular system.

in contrast, usually the only requirement to run a web application is a web browser. Most systems come with a web browser pre-installed. While it's true that there are minor differences in the way browsers render web pages, web applications are tested against the most commonly used browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Opera. With minimal to no browser specific coding required, a deployed web application can be instantly accessed by users on any operating system.

Ease of upgrades

With web applications, new updates can be rolled out very quickly and easily. Unlike desktop applications, nothing needs to be updated on the users' computers. All updates are implemented on the server, which are then instantly available for all users. This can usually be done without any interruptions or down time.

Mobility

With the increased use of smart phones, mobility of web applications has become truly possible. Web applications can easily be accessed via mobile devices such as Blackberry and iPhone. This is a sharp contrast to desktop applications, which are typically only accessible on the computer they are installed on.

Ease of access

As a result of being accessed through a web browser, web applications usually have simpler interfaces than most desktop based enterprise applications. Since users are already comfortable using their favourite web browser, there's usually a much smaller learning curve.

Better availability

Due to being located on the web, employees using the same application from different locations, while on the road, or traveling abroad, can all have instant access to current information.
