When I went that way, I used intraweb. I had to rewrite all the gui code obviously but all the calculation code I could use as is. I also went 3 tier at the same time using RemObjects to connect to the server. That let me put the webserver with a specialist hosting company and keep the database inside our network.
Initially, while I was working for a different company, they contracted someone else to write the web app. It took them 9 months to deliver a partially working app with no data connectivity. Using Intraweb and remobjects I did the entire thing in under 3 months of part time work.
