A web application is a piece of software that resides on a web server and typically performs some sort of business function by combining computer programs called scripts with databases. Web applications provide their users with a number of advantages over conventional software. They excel at allowing organizations to centralize their data, easing communications and preventing miscommunication. They also provide a software solution that is platform independent, and if desired, can be set up so they can be accessed from any web enabled workstation in the world.
