Software vs Webware

Read our Application Development Outsourcing News section for more info on this very topic.

Technology has certainly grown since I started using the Internet back in 1995. In no circumstance would I have ever predicted it would develop into the many devices we use today. Nor would I have predicted the way much of it has shifted onto the Internet.

Software’s accessibility is no longer exclusive to store shelves, FTP sites, or download links, for instance. Some of today’s software doesn’t even require installation anymore. The software of yore has transformed into web technology, currently masquerading around as “webware.”

Think Microsoft Office Live

Take Microsoft’s Office suite for instance. It’s now available online as Microsoft Office Live. Anyone remember when the offline suite cost well into the hundreds of dollars? Remember when it came as a pack of CDs?

Today, anyone can access this suite absolutely free without having to install a single thing. The suite offers an online version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote with each individual program completely operable within any up-to-date web browser.

Microsoft’s Office Live isn’t the only product that’s part of the webware explosion. Even parts of the Adobe Suite are operable from Chrome, IE, and Firefox. We’re in the middle of a major transition here, and while software certainly still exists, a lot of developers are learning web development is a lucrative business.

The demand for mobile technology, for example, is rising like the temperature of sick kid. And with more and more people constantly on the go, the potential for making a killing with it is simply tremendous.

If you haven’t already, register a username for yourself so you can discuss this topic in our Development forum.

If you have any intention at all to keep up with this new developing trend, you’re strongly encouraged to re-think your current installation-based product development strategy. Software won’t disappear completely, but it’s well on its way out as the de facto in software application development.  Let’s embrace this change together with some awesome product ideas.
