eXpresso’s Advantages over Google Docs
In response to this article:
Forrester: Google still a distant Office competitor
“For all the noise about — and from — Google giving Microsoft a run for its money in the office/productivity market, the reality is rather different, according to Forrester Research.”
Customers come to eXpresso because they are looking for cutting-edge collaboration for the Office productivity applications they already use. In their search, they discover Google Docs provides real-time collaboration for documents but lacks the features and fidelity to make it a viable business solution. As the article indicates, Google Docs is a handy application for sharing basic information with friends, but when it comes to business, it simply does not deliver the solutions and capabilities necessary. eXpresso can.
Advantages over Google Docs:
- File Fidelity — Customers constantly tell us how their files lose formatting when imported into Google Docs. With eXpresso, you get all the benefits of real-time editing without sacrificing the integrity of your files.
- Familiar Interface — Customers also tell us how they like the concept of Google Docs, but they wish they could do it for Office instead. That’s eXpresso: real-time collaboration for Office documents stored in the cloud.
- Office Functionality — You won’t have to compromise features to gain collaboration. Keep using the Office application you already have installed. There’s no need to switch to a less functional Web app.
- Off-line Editing — Since Office is already on your machine, you can create new files or checkout existing ones when you’ll need to do some editing on the road.
- Smarter Real-Time Interaction — Like Google Docs, you can simultaneously edit files in real-time, but with eXpresso, you don’t need to see everyone’s micro-changes. Our methods for real-time document collaboration are efficient and much less distracting.
