Hi all. I currently have a c# application that engineers use on laptops whilst on the move. They complete tasks at locations around London and then upload data instantly for head office.
I am using SQL Azure as the database which sync's to head office SQL Server via sync services. It's been running successfully for a couple of years now.
I can't help but think that a single application running in the cloud would be a better solution but am confused with all the material around as to what and if this would be cost effective.
Does this system need to have a VM running to actually work or are there alternatives? This is not a web solution but a WPF framework. Porting it over would be an ideal but I think VM would be too costly as currently the only cost is a small SQL Azure DB.
Any pointers would be gratefully accepted. I will continue to dig into the subject in the meantime. Thanks in advance. Scott
