In 2023, it will be impossible to imagine companies without web-based applications. Information systems are used to automate processes, evaluate data and support decision-making processes. Enterprise software is increasingly appearing in the form of web apps, and for good reason.
Why digitization?
Digitization consists of evolving a business model by using innovations from information technology. Why should you care about this as an entrepreneur or business owner? Quite simply - to remain competitive.
With the help of digitalization, the efficiency of the company can be optimized, in terms of its strategy, production and customer relations.
Information systems support decisions by collecting and analyzing data, accelerate production processes with automation and controlling systems, and reduce marketing expenses by targeting customer groups. A company that has slept through digitalization will continue to lose competitiveness.
The web application
A web app is a type of software that runs on a server and is delivered over a network (often the Internet). The end user accesses the app through a browser.
Traditional desktop applications (fat clients) are increasingly being replaced by web applications due to their overwhelming advantages. Web applications offer the following key advantages:
- A web app is platform-independent and can be used on any type of device and operating system. Only a browser is required.
- Web apps do not need to be installed and do not require storage space.
- A web app can be accessed from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
- Data is stored centrally on a server, which increases data security and allows different users to collaborate in real time.
Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
The latest phenomenon in web development is the so-called progressive web app. A PWA combines features of web apps with many features of native mobile apps.
A Progressive Web App can be used in the browser like a traditional web app, but can also be installed as an app on mobile devices. This allows the app to use native features of the device being used, such as camera and microphone, GPS location, or push notifications, and incorporate them into the program.
Programming PWAs is far less complex and cost-intensive compared to native mobile apps. In addition, no download of updates is necessary - the app is automatically updated when called up as long as one is online. Compared to web apps, PWAs can also be used without an internet connection.
