Like most current solutions, Lianja is technology-centric: the application has several avatars depending on the operating environment: desktop, web, mobile, etc.

FoxInCloud is application-centric: it considers the application as intangible and suits layers of technology around to adapt it to varying operating conditions; in other words, you have one single app that you can deploy over a variety of operating environment -- already written, run everywhere.

This positioning is based on a business and strategic standpoint: Since the early 80's, companies have heavily invested in building business applications: spec, coding, training, bug fix, conflicts with users to get things done, etc. This work is an asset that many and most companies can't just write off each time a new technology arises (eg. the Web).

Technology driven solutions always get out of control: technologists can always find a 'better' way to do the same job, and teach everyone that it's the 'best way'; examples of this mindset can be found in almost every thread of this forum, and in the succession of Web stacks: how many devs care about LAMP today compared to 5 years ago?

I'm not saying (and never will) that this approach is better than the others; I just try to invite readers to think about the path they want to follow, and FULLY estimate how much it'll cost their company and users (in time mainly, licenses are negligible compared to work force).
