1. collaboration (multiple users sharing/editing the same documents).
2. accessibility (from any location, at any time, on any device, running any OS).
3. cost savings
- software (reduced development, purchase, installation, maintenance, upgrade costs)
- hardware (reduced CPU/memory/disk/electricity requirements on client devices)
- backups (centralized backups save time/materials versus individual user backups)
4. data integrity
- lost/stolen/broken computers don't compromise data
- reduction/elimination of individual backup media reduces risk of data loss
5. performance (HTML5, NaCl, etc. help cloud apps achieve near desktop app performance).
