Google Docs: a very powerful collaberative tool!

Nowadays companies need to find ways to reduce their expenses and increase their profits, especially that our economy is going through one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression. One way to reduce expenses is to use free collaborative tools, and one of such tools is Google Docs. It is free and can substantially increase communication and performance within a company. What Google Docs do is actually pretty simple. It allows different users within a company or group of people in general work on a same file but without having to upload the file every time. It is a collaboration in real time. Google Docs provides the same kind of files as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point presentation etc..). It reduces time of downloading the file, reduce the time of having to email the file every time, which makes Google Doc very useful for increasing performance. By making communication easier between different people within a group or a company it does enhance communication. These are some of the advantages of Google Docs. It is also worth noting, that all documents created with Google Docs can be opened with any other documents software.
Next week we are going to talk about another great tool for companies to increase performance and communication that is also free.
