  10. Desktop software or cloud • With the increasing popularity of web apps, businesses are turning to online solutions for their business needs because it allows quick and easy access no matter where you are. The days of being tied down to the office to complete work are over as cloud computing and online platforms become a reality in daily business life. • While once computing largely occurred in one office, the scattered workforce has created demand for mobile computing.The ability to access records easily in remote locations with little or no advanced setup. • Software as a service, or SaaS*, is one of the leading uses of cloud computing. Rather than installing software on local desktops, software applications are accessed via a Web browser. WBEA 2014, Cloud Computing carol@carolyacht.com
