Hi, everyone. A company I know has been selling a desktop application for a while, successfully and profitably. They're now considering moving it to the Web. From what I've seen, this makes a heckuva lot of sense, from both the technical and business perspectives.
However, I'm a bit stuck for examples of applications that have successfully made such a transition, and was hoping to get some insights from others here. FedEx moved from PC-based tracking software to the Web, and seems to have done well as a result. Banks have also abandoned PC-based software in favor of the Web. Adobe has ported Photoshop to the Web, but I'm not sure if it's really comparable, or if they're making real money from it. I'm also unsure of how many people use Intuit's Web-based software, rather than their desktop apps.
So, can you think of any good examples of companies that successfully made this transition? Any and all insights are welcome.
