Google Docs is Powerful

Google Docs can be a powerful tool for any company to enhance their collaboration. Recently, I did a presentation on Google Docs for a class of mine. I have been very impressed by what you can do with it. “Google Docs enables multiple people in different locations to collaborate simultaneously on the same doc from any computer with Internet access.” (http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44677)
These docs can include: word docs, power point, and spreadsheets. This is a great tool for any company seeing how you can use many different types of documents in it. For example, if I did work in excel on the amount of sales a company had each month I could enable anyone who wanted to see the numbers to see them whenever and where ever they want. They would not have to wait for me to send them the figures at the end of every month. They can log on whenever they have time and see them. They can log on before the end of the month to check on how sales are doing for that month and see them how they are at that moment. This cuts out a lot of lag time in emailing and asking for documents to be emailed and waiting for replies. It saves time, and in saving time you save money. Google Docs can be a powerful tool for any business to enhance their collaboration.
