A friend of mine would like to develop a browser-based  app that will be used by financial institutions. 

I’m evaluating using SharePoint because:

The data to be captured and stored is confidential and the companies will not want the data to be hosted in the cloudTo allay cybersecurity concerns (and avoid bureaucracy) about installing a new app in the corporate IT environment, it has been suggested to build the app on software architecture that is already availableMost large financial institutions already have on-premise SharePoint installations

Is the logic behind using SharePoint valid?  Is there less red-tape around deploying an app on an existing SharePoint installation compared to an app on a platform that the company is not currently using?  Do you think there’s a better software platform than SharePoint for this use case?

Thanks

Saul
