I'm working on desktop software for a financial services vertical. Data consolidation is one of the problems we're addressing and web apps have too many limitations for us to build a good data management tool. We're using an SOA layer so the app should work well for remote users. Think iTunes. We're using WPF and this is the operations tool which will eventually be complemented by a browser app. It's our hope that we'll be able to force enough of the WPF code into Silverlight to make it the front-end for the browser app. We're also going to try using WPF in the browser but I think the installation headaches will be too much for us.
