Cloud based applications are cloud computing services which are also called Software as a Service (SaaS). These programs are offered online, and only require you to have an account and password to use them. Programs that required to installation on individual computers and other systems can now be used online with the same functionality. These cloud based apps provide benefits to both the user and the provider.
 

 
The biggest benefit is obviously collaboration. Cloud based apps allow you to access your information from any part of the world by simply having an internet connection. This allows collaborative work and projects to be completed successfully, as every end user gets the universal files from the server. Automatic updates allow you to have the same version of software across different systems, and their development provides everyone the benefits at the same time.
