About Web Applications
Author:

Web-based Applications are web sites that offer more to the user than normal, static web sites. The difference is the way the information is provided to you. The site actually responds to the user, changing to provide the information the user wants to see. The Internet and web technologies can provide

an alternative to traditional desktop software. You can move desktop applications to centralized servers where they can be accessed using a web browser. This approach, called web-based applications or Internet applications, enables organizations to rapidly adapt to changing needs while minimizing costs.

What are the advantages?
The advantages of Web-based Applications are:

more useful info to the user - users feel they are getting the information they actually want from the site and therefore come back more often
more useful info from the user
cost savings - Web applications provide immediate, seat-by-seat savings, but where they really begin to shine is in the long-term. Upgrades, licenses, maintenance, troubleshooting and backups can all take place in a single location, rather than dispersed throughout the enterprise.
Typical Web-based Applications
You will have experienced Web-based Applications if you have used online banking (e-banking) or a site that provides customized information, such as an online job board or online stock portfolio management tools.

Some examples of applications that Documédia has designed include:

Adapting collections of paper forms into PDF forms that input the data into a database to facilitate document management and printing. This process makes it easy for staff to complete common paperwork electronically and reduce re-keying
