While many of the contemporary software work online or on a cloud (usingservices like MS Sharepoint, virtualization etc), they are inherently desktopbased software and are not designed to be cloud centric. Data migrationprocesses etc are also very cumbersome as source code is simply notavailable for them (and no hope as well).
