Google Docs fans increased rapidly

Dominance of Microsoft Office in an office environment is now a new challenge, but not the editors come from open source applications.

According to the latest survey conducted by the firm IDC, the big challenge faced by Microsoft, comes from the editors application of Google’s online documents, namely Google Docs.

Quoted from the site Computerworld, IDC research found that 1 in 5 companies reported that the Google Docs application in their work environment is ‘widely used’.

IDC studied 262 people who are senior managers in various companies from small scale to large scale. Result, the managers had expressed a rapid increase in the interest of workers to use the Google Docs application.

In similar research conducted by IDC two years ago, there were about 5 percent of companies that claim that Google Docs is widely used by workers in their offices. While on a recent IDC research on July 2009, that number had increased to 19.5 percent.

“Google Docs is not replacing Microsoft Office. But the fact of this application developed rapidly, and this is a very big threat to Microsoft,” said Melissa Webster, IDC analyst who conducted the research.

However, outside of which experienced growth of Google Docs, Microsoft Office distribution was still so widespread. Currently the market share of Microsoft Office is still range in the approximately 97 percent.

From there, Melissa explains, many workers appear to use both these applications. However, Webster said, that Google Docs can beat Microsoft opportunities in terms of editor tool online documents.

Microsoft plans to release Office 2010 document editor, which will come out with its online version. Later, Microsoft will provide various options for users to access Office applications via the Internet, directly from Microsoft’s data center.

Survey conducted by research firm IDC, 80 percent of companies from the United States, and 64 percent of companies had come from IT companies. 35 percent of respondent companies have fewer employees than 100 people, and 31 percent have more than 5 thousand employees.

The survey deliberately not specifically determine the absorption rate in the Google Docs earlier companies, so that phrase that Google Docs ‘widely used’, left to the reader.
