Dear Randall,
This biggest issue we have is that we invested a signification amount of $$$ and time to get CGI (Clipweb) working and we have a very large customer base that likes the product so it is very difficult to simply switch to a new platform. We are hosting our applications so we can control the servers. We got it work with Microsoft Server 2008 and we are working to get operable on Microsoft Server 2012. We are working to convert Clipweb applications from DBFCDX to MS SQL 2008 and higher. Once this is done, I believe we will be able to support the product for the next 10-15 years. I know .NET is probably a better way to go for us since we are a Microsoft development house. However, the flexibility of HTML5 and CSS allows us to manage presentation of software on all necessary devices within Clipweb.
Sincerely,
