Many online business services now operate purely on a subscription basis e.g Google Apps, which offers business email, calendaring etc. purchased on a per user per year subscription and all the software and data is stored and run from Google's own servers. This means the customer has nothing to download or install as all applications are accessed over the web and can therefore be accessed from any internet connected device.  The benefits of such a set-up can be substantial. First of all there is no need for business' to invest in the hardware and related maintenance and upkeep; secondly, the system can be scaled quickly and runs just as efficiently for a 2 man company as it does for a company with 2000 people; and finally, you only pay for what you need/use which can result in significant cost savings. The result is a cheaper, more efficient and arguably more secure solution.
 
Many companies are now seeing the huge financial benefits that can be attained through cloud computing, not just for common business tools such as email but for all manner of business applications including File Storage and back-up, project management and even accounting.  Their data is securely stored, regularly backed-up, and accessed over encrypted connections. What's more, many of these services have what's known as Developer APIs which mean that they can be customised to a businesses own preference with add-ons and even integration with one another.

Cloud computing allows business' to purchase their software and hardware requirements in the same way they purchase other utilities such as Gas and Electricity.  As such you will occasionally here it referred to as 'utility computing'.
