This morning, WaveMaker announced results of a survey it had conducted about businesses' plans for deployment of web-based applications. In the survey, WaveMaker found some interesting results.

Of more than 200 businesses surveyed, 71% of respondents answered that they were currently supporting or planning to develop internal applications that they would prefer to launch as web-based applications. The most common topic of interest was portable frameworks, with 60% of respondents indicating interest in that as compared to 20% in content management systems and in wikis.

In answering about the greatest challenges in making these changes, companies cited reasons such as time to develop new applications, lack of ability to meet demand, lack of staff know-how, and issues with legacy applications.

Although the wording was vague on some of the questions, making it hard to say exactly how definitive responses can be considered, this survey makes for yet another sign that businesses are slowly but surely accepting Web 2.0.

And remember, if your company is considering Web 2.0, you should attend ebizQ's SOA and Web 2.0 roundtable discussion, currently planned for March 19.
