There are many reasons:

1. Shared access to an internet connection

2. Shared access to resources (printers, scanners, servers etc).

3. Allows for instant file and information sharing.

4. Allows the creation of specialized resources - for example, having a file server where people's work can be stored and accessed, as opposed to using individual machines.

5. Greatly improves efficiency within a company/organization.
