WebStream enables organisations and ISVs to run forms-based, database-driven Windows applications in a browser while enforcing strict control over file access, printing, clipboard use, identity, and full audit visibility.

Control how users interact with legacy applications — not just how they access them.
Across accounting firms, engineering offices, legal practices, medical clinics, and government departments, critical Windows applications prevent cloud adoption.
Users need complex infrastructure just to access their applications, creating security and management overhead.
Applications rely on file open/save dialogs and local printing, incompatible with browser-based delivery.
User activity within the application is invisible to security and compliance teams.
These applications are too complex, too critical, or the source code is no longer available.
Remote work requires workarounds that frustrate users and burden IT teams.
Traditional access methods create attack surfaces and compliance gaps.
"The challenge is not usually the legacy application.
The blocker is the lack of control, governance, configuration, security and the visibility over how your users interact with it."
WebStream virtualises the interaction layer between the user and the Windows application.
Browser-native and policy controlled
Controlled PDF output to designated paths
Governed and monitored transfers
Enforced authentication and access control
Every interaction logged and observable
Start with a single server PoC and scale to enterprise-grade multi-AZ deployments.
