Hi Rick,

> If you go out looking for vertical apps in specific markets you'll find that almost all of those things are now Web based solutions either offered as a service or deployable Web applicatinos that can run on in-house servers.

I check that continuously and frankly all the web apps I've seen so far are horizontal like CRM, time tracking and so forth.
Serious vertical ERPs address a market segment too narrow to finance a full Web-app rewrite with the tech stack you mention.
This is just unreal.

All is possible in theory, can you point to some real-life example?
