In today's world, we have new ways to deliver software that save you time and save you from doing "techie work". Web Tools are programs that run on the internet. What you see is the web page, and the software all runs on the servers. These kinds of tools are typically easier, more mobile and more reliable than traditional installed software.
In addition, web apps are often superior to installed software for many tasks that people want to get done. Some of the benefits are:
- Web Apps are especially suited to collaboration being used by multiple people at the same time. No more need to screen share or send a screenshot when multiple users can see and even edit the same data together.
- Web Apps work with all operating systems, unlike installed software which has to work with your operating system. You are no longer constrained by your operating system.
- Web Apps can be immediately accessed and are ready to work whenever you are. There is nothing to download or install.
- Web Apps are updated automatically. You will not be prompted to install a new update and your work processes will not be interrupted.
- Web Apps are less prone to crashing and causing technical problems due to software or hardware conflicts with other programs on your computer. Because everyone is using the same version, all bugs can be fixed as soon as they are discovered (meaning you do not have to wait for the next version of your software to be released).
- All of your data is stored on servers, which are backed up, so you don't have to.
- Web Apps require little or no disk space and therefore leave more space for running multiple applications at the same time.
- Web Apps do not require the distribution, technical support and marketing required by traditional software. This allows online applications to cost a fraction of their traditional counterparts.

Can I Run These Apps on My Own Server?
