Business is nearly impossible without the use of software in 2018, unless you’re a mathematical genius.

Almost all big MNCs have customised software to meet their business needs such as Customer Support, Databasing and Accounting. Small Businesses however generally look for generic solutions that easily meet their needs.

But we have relied on downloadable business software packages for way too long and it’s time we take them to the web. There are several benefits to this and in the coming time, it’ll become inevitable.

In the highly connected internet ecosystem we are living in, machines, software, data and humans must be thoroughly connected to each other everywhere they go. And Web Apps make this possible. 

Why are Web Apps better than Package Software?

Anywhere Access

Working on a web app allows you to take your work virtually anywhere. All you need is an internet connection and all your office tasks such as report building, data analysis and customer management can be done online.

Integrations

Web Apps are powered by web-friendly technologies that allow you to integrate one thing with another. If you are using three different apps for calendar, communication and meetings, you can integrate them with one another using APIs.  

High Performance

Web Apps mostly run in your web browser without burdening your workstation with heavy software load. This saves you computer resources and cut down on expensive hardware to meet business level performance.

Cloud Enabled  

Web Apps run on the cloud, which means your data is always backed up on the cloud and you can collaborate with your teammates on a project in real time, no matter where in the world they are located. This also helps create backup databases.
