Web Applications: which are their advantages ?

I need to give an overview of what Web applications are and what they
can do.

My customer is a medium company but they have been left technologically
"behind" by their former CIO, which was a very old-fashioned guy...

Do you know of any available resource / presentation on the subject ?

They do not need a technical insight, just
an overview and how to evaluate main pros and cons of Web
applications.

Thanks in advance !

I don't have any links for you.

In my point of view, the main advantages are
1. Ease of deployment - no need to install anything on the client machine.
If you have 1000 users, you don't need to go to every workstation and
install the app. When a new version comes out, you don't need to go to every
workstation again to upgrade it.
2. Because of not needing to install anything on the client machine, anyone
with a web browser can use your application. This also means being able to
use it at an internet cafe, etc.

Some cons:

1. The user experience is typically not as rich. It can be written to be
such, but that requires a lot more work then in something like a windows
application.
2. There can be performance problems if there are many postbacks to the
server or a lot of javascript running (javascript is interpreted and slow)
