@scottalanmiller except if you actually read what he posted it is clear that it is a client-server application and the sever is simply no longer going to be on premises.
This is a flaming pile of crap from a horrible software company.
It's horrible. But it is also hosted. So while it's terrible, cloud and hosted don't imply good. It's as hosted as any other hosted app is.

Having written a .Net client/server application or two myself 10+ years ago, I feel extremely confident in calling this crap.
While the server side may be hosted, the client is not. It is still locally installed.
This will run like a flaming pile of shit.
Sure, it is possible that the "client" application was completely rewritten and is little more than a front for a web interface. But it is only barely possible.

Don't hold back, what do you really think :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I appreciate the input, you guys have more knowledge in this area than I. With what you've said Jared, that's just backing up what I've been thinking & what my advice to them will be and that is to not touch it for at least 12 months.

You've been here long enough. You should know these guys may know the definition of holding back, they do not do it that I've seen, lol.

Why though? Jared could be wrong and it could be a decent client side app. We have no idea what the app in questions is (or I've forgotten it).
If it's like email - it could download all of needed data to a local cache and only talk to the server when updates need to be pulled/pushed, could be a great app, or it could be polling the DB constantly and you could have bandwidth issues.Until we know the nature of the system, and until you test the proposed new system in a production environment, We can't know if it will be usable or not?

I even said that!
But I still doubt it.

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
so a program a client uses is moving to the cloud. I had a read of the information available and see that the client software will need to remain on client PCs.
Is that common amongst cloud based programs????
@Dashrender the original post. Everything about that screams legacy client/server.

Was just grabbing coffee #2 and looking over the newspaper - Front Page had an article about one of my Customers and how he has "kept his eye on the prize, and opened his 2nd location during the Pandemic."

Trying to rearrange my freezer to fit all the great stuff my chef neighbor brought over yesterday. He's been clearing out all the dry goods and frozen stuff. Even after a giant donation to Atlanta Food Bank, he brought home a metric shit tonne of sushi grade tuna steaks, tuna tartare (for spicy tuna rolls), some whole yellowtail filets, crab sticks, those little precooked shrimp you get at the sushi place, edamame, a giant pack of smoked salmon, and some nice nori sheets. And sometime this week he's bringing home like 12lbs of flank steak and a whole beef tenderloin. Lots of good eating in my near future.
