If you are concerned that going 100% web will leave at the mercy of offering
less client side functionality then you may want to check out this example
http://www.netwebapps.com/Reference.cfm. There are many approaches to
managing data between servers using Cold Fusion. If you can supply a little
more detail I will try to give you an example of solution.

Subject: Need advice on shuttling data between web site and desktop apps
> For the last 5 yars we have primarily been involved in creating and

Fusion.
> The current challenge is creating methodologies for shuttling information

> In situations where clients have their own web servers this is obviously
not

> services. It has also been suggested that we convert our applications to
> 100% web apps but this is usually not feasible. At the current time the
only

> and writing complex sychronization routines to email extract files back
and

on

> Any suggestions? Any useful utilities?

> Also Virtualscape / Hostcentric won't let us have RDS access for security
