By actually defining requirements. For starters it is unlikely that anyone wants you to redesign the application unless they wanted to change it in some way either immediately or in the future. So besides collecting those requirements you also need to understand what the current application does. After that you will also have a better understanding of what the "application" is. The technologies you listed are for the most part more applicable to client server types enterprises, where the description you gave suggests nothing more than a stand along application. But requirements might make that more clear.
