• Faster deployment. There is no software to download and install.
• Fewer IT resources are required.
• Lower up-front costs. Frequently zero capital expenditure to get started.
• The service is available via a Web browser.
• You only pay for what you use.
• Monthly subscription fee.

In August 2008, Gartner Research observed that "organizations are switching from company-owned hardware and software assets to per-use service-based models" and that the "projected shift to cloud computing will result in dramatic growth in IT products in some areas and in significant reductions in other areas."
