There are in fact several office tools in use today. These include some of the following; Google Docs, Google Analytical, electronic fax, conferencing and one of the newest, Office Web Apps. Some of these tools have been around for quite some time. There are slight differences between Microsoft Office and Google docs. There are several important features about these tools. Google Doc allows you to share and compose documents with other people in your same office or across the world. This is very similar to Office Web Apps. However, Office Web seems to offer slightly more features that Google Docs. Google Analytical is the web analytics solution that gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. This is very important when trying to see and analyze your traffic data. Conferencing and electronic fax are just a few ways to communicate with businesses in other areas of the world.
I recently worked for a small organization. In the early days of the organization, these tools were not commonly used or known. However as the company grew and the world as we know it expands, these and many other office tools become commonplace. In the future, simple office documents will be created, shared and presented to people from several different places in no time. These docs will be shared via conferencing. Data will be analyzed and adjustments will be made according to consumer preferences. This is just the beginning of the world of office productivity tools to come.

Interesting thoughts Estelle. I agree that the data will be analysed and adjusted to consumer preferences! On my blog I discuss just how I think the use of "data will be analysed" will work, by taking over and creating a massive amount of competition for companies to buy up those words that make us customers con$ume!

I read somewhere that Google Docs has but 4% of this market and that Microsoft actually owns 81%. Seems strange for such a cool and obviously valuable technology to fly so far below the radar, at least with mainstream consumers. Perhaps this is the early adoption. Anyway, very informative Estelle.
