What benefits does CONNECTION CLIENT bring to an organisation?

Now that we have to have CC installed on all pc's with Bentley products perhaps someone could schedule out what benefits it brings to an organisation, because at the moment I am seeing very little. In all the time of it being installed on my pc (2 years + I would think) I have had no notifications as far as I can remember, and when it lets me know about an upgrade it's usually late as I've seen the announcement in the MicroStation forum. It would have an added benefit if it could let me know about upgrades to non CONNECT programs. I understand the reason why it doesn't that that is just a cop out.

Please don't just give me links to wikis, as that doesn't help. A real answer with a list would be good.
