What way and instrument would your recommend?

Question

Hello world! Hi everybody! Here is the situation: we have a software (some apps, databank), which is working in multiuser mode. But we need add some extra functions to this software. Which way would you have recommended? Plugin-type module, API using in external exe, web-interface or maybe something else? And what instrument is the best for your idea? Thanks a lot to everybody!!!

Answer 1

When dealing with sensitive data using an well made API is always the best way to go to not leave any sensitive details on the client side, for the interface you could probably use something WPF and combine a web-interface with your software logic.

Another choice would just be as suggest and keep everything server side on an online web interface.
