Desktop application accessible by multiple users

I have a desktop application [Data Analysis and Report Generation] built in VB. I would like to make this application accessible to all the users in our corporation, from their web browsers. What is the best possible way to achieve this?

One way which I have thought is to write a simple web form that would take the input from the user and apply logic on the server and generate results. Again, the limitation would be at the output screen as it is the real time output being generated.

Any leads would be highly appreciated.

Desktop App is way different from web app. To allow multiple users, a web app is suitable. For this you will have to use several technologies.

The UI has to be build using html, css and javascript (like jQuery).

The back end, can be VB if you are doing working with asp.net or php etc.

For real time output, you'll have to use ajax to allow communication between a browser and sever without page refreshes

An ideal choice for the front end logic, would be to use a frontend framework such as AngularJs by google.

However, all this does have a high learning curve and is difficult to build something using all this on the first day or even week unless you already know most of this.
