Part of this process means installing the software in one location as opposed to numerous locations. By discarding the server-side setup, there is no server-side administration so the user has only a single entry-point for installation and administration. In the majority of cases, knowing the database by name is all that is required. To the developer writing an application, there is no requirement to know on which server it resides: you can write your application for any environment, regardless of where it will end. There are also performance benefits gained by employing this single solution, which in some cases exceeds that provided by the database vendor's drivers. Being able to integrate your solution simply into your organization with its plethora of internal and disparate systems means your RoI increases significantly.
