Applications running locally on a computer device - desktop or laptop computer, are limited by hardware and OS requirements.
Imagine this. If you were to download all applications for use which will eventually slow down the system, and require upgrades consistently, this is not only time-consuming but expensive too.
Businesses will often run into tangible costs and frustration among users (technical or non-technical), especially, if the applications are ineffective or cannot be integrated with existing business software to meet the requirement.

Fortunately, today, with the advancement in technology, availability of higher internet bandwidth and connectivity, web services offer integration of standalone desktop applications without downloading them onto the device, on the web browser.
The web services provide an online runtime environment which supports these plug-in apps, built in different programming languages, to run across platforms - Windows, Mac or Linux, as well as any mobile device.
Using web services, businesses can deploy the applications cost effectively, allowing access anywhere. It is possible to customize them on a range of devices and offer greater levels of interoperability, and easing maintenance of applications. Moreover, they help in adapting to heavier workloads in an extremely secure environment.
These benefits lower the overall cost to businesses as one pays only for the services and applications used in the cloud. Moreover, the applications can be accessed as and when required which reduces the overall implementation time and technical complexities.
The applications offered by the web services can be easily integrated into the existing systems thus reducing the overhead costs, eventually, allowing businesses to scale globally with the available budget in no time.
