Advantages OF Online Business in Pakistan:

• The centralized administration of office productivity
• The cost is low. In most cases, there is no specific charge for using the service for users who already have access to a computer with a web browser and a connection to the Internet.
• Centralized storage of data, rather than traditional personal data responsibility;
• Applications which focus on collaborative data sharing, document review and document resource management;
• Office applications which are able to be run from multiple independent platforms with a suitable back-end framework to present the application in a uniform manner.
• If the user's computer fails, the documents are still safely stored on the remote server. Online service providers' backup processes and overall stability will generally be superior to that of most home systems.
Disadvantages OF Online Business in Pakistan
• Access requires connectivity--if the remote server or network is unavailable, the content will also be unavailable. However, in many cases, the online suite will allow the user to regularly backup data or even provide synchronization of documents between the server and the local computer.
• There are speed and accessibility issues. Most of the available online office suites require a high speed. That can be a problem for users who are limited by a slower connection to the Internet.
• The number of features available is an issue. Online office suites lack the more advanced features available on their offline counterparts.
