It can depend on what your end result will be. If you are talking about users of another application accessing yours in an interactive fashion then since you already have a web app that is fairly easy.

If you are talking about just the other applications needing data, access to functions, or what ever else you application has in a non-interactive way then you should look at exposing the specific methods, data, or actions of your application via API. This way any other app will be able to call your API for specific functions and it gives you tighter control.

You have several options, Web API, WCF, or even plain old Web Services.
