The applications that drives the acceptance of XML are those that cannot be accomplished within the limitations of HTML.

These applications can be divided into three broad categories:

	Applications that require the web client to mediate between two or more heterogeneous databases
	Applications that attempt to distribute a significant proportion of the processing load from the web server to the web client.
	Applications that require the web client to present different views of the same data to different users.

Smartbuzz focuses on following XML applications areas:

	Collaborative design efforts
	Intranet applications.
