Web Application/Apps have evolved at a pretty rapid rate over the past few years. The main reason for this rapid growth is the new hardware to use these apps on, smartphones, tablets, and even mp3s. Web applications are now apart of out everyday life because a web app is as simple as your webmail. Viaweb is claimed to be the first web application, the company was started 1995 and provided the first web-based application that allowed users to host their own online stores directly from their own web browser. Since them web applications have only gotten better.
Web applications now range from business productivity applications to personal organizations applications. In doing my research I learned there is pretty much and application now for everything you could possibly want to do on the internet. Business are the ones who are going to benefit the most from these applications because they help organize and manage their companies. “You’re in business to make money. However, if you can’t manage your finances, payments, and assets, you’re going to find that expenses start to creep up, financing runs short, and your ability to plan for the future is nil.” [1] The web applications that are designed to manage finances, payments, and assets will allow the company to focus on the future of the company and planning new projects so they can grow and make more money. Web applications provide companies with more time by making mundane tasks such as creating invoices and mailing them to clients easier by sending the invoice to the client via email and allowing them to pay instantly via paypal. Communication is another very important aspect to a successful and productive business. Video chat and conferencing is one very important web application now that makes communication and brainstorming between offices in different states or even countries instant. Web applications have changed the course of the business world in such a way that it keeps the business more productive by making mundane task simpler, organization a priority, and now communication between associates organized and at the drop of the hat.
