Instead of teaching every application in your organisation how to talk to a hardware security module, you run one signing service and let the others call it. That is useful in two situations in particular: when the keys have to live in hardware that the existing enterprise applications cannot be connected to, and when the operations are sensitive enough that you want them managed and audited in exactly one place.
