An Internet or Intranet Connection Is Used
A web application runs on a server that your desktop computer, laptop computer, iPad, or smart phone accesses using a broadband Internet connection or a connection to your company's Intranet.
An Internet Browser Opens the Software
A web application is opened by entering the web application's website address into the address bar of an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Apple Safari, then logging in with a username and password.
New Software Versions Can Be Installed Quickly
Since a web application runs on a remote server, intallation of a new version of the software happens in one location only.
In other words, you don't have to update every device that uses the application each time a new feature is added or a correction is made.
Front End/Back End
Our web applications use Microsoft ASP.Net as the front end or user interface and Microsoft SQL Sever as the back end or database. Typically, the ASP.Net front end is hosted on one server and the SQL Sever back end is hosted on another server.
