Convert windows Delphi app to web based app with SQL database - host in cloud

[TMasterMind]

Hi All,

A friend of mine has a windows application that was developed in Delphi and runs off an SQL database(2008/2012). How does she convert the application to be web based and hosted in the cloud? This app is basically a metering system for reporting on electricity and water for customers.

Any recommendations for companies that can convert this to cloud and host as well?

Thanks

I had to do this for a client at the beginning of the year.

For a few factors, I decided the best strategy would be to write a web app using a PHP framework.

Creating CRUD (record keeping) web applications is incredibly easy. I wrote the client's app myself but I've seen/heard great things about quickadminpanel.com. It looks incredibly easy/cheap to get something powerful up and running.
