Chris,
Zoho seems to be a decent product. Another project management software that is very efficient is Communiclique. I Have been using it in my company for a while and have seen great results from it's use .It also includes VoIP software which really helps when planning those conference calls.

I would totally dig this if Gears worked with Safari. Can't for the life of me get why Safari always gets the shaft on so much of this stuff.

Let me ad one to Chris' list: convenience.

My calednar, email, appointments, contacts, documents, pictures, to-dos, invoicing... and even my simple notes to myself are all done online these days. I've actually begun slowly uninstalling desktop apps to focus more online.

What makes this more convenient? Well, Chris' laptop, in a pinch can be my entire office. So can yours. So can a public machine at an internet cafe (Though not recommended, clearly). Or one of those freestanding online machines at the airports or bus terminals. Or the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Benefits:

* Security- no documents on your laptop means no documents to be compromised once your laptop is stolen.

* Collaboration- online documents mean flexible collaboration and version control, without several files passing back and forth in attachments (thus adding storage strain to the servers).

* IT expenses- Office Professional single copy retails for $499. Even if you've got a multi-seat license (like your company has), that's probably still $200 a seat. My cost per suite? Zero.

* IT management- No version issues. No server upgrades. No desktop rollouts. All in one spot.

There's just a few. : )

I don't see the value of switching to an online based document writing system?
