Collaborative office tools
Collaborative office tools
The increasing frequency of dispersed (e.g. multi-state or multi-agency) collaborators who need to work on and from common documents together has spurned the development of collaborative office software applications that provide basic word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and database functionality across the internet. Instead of passing around and then reconciling multiple versions of a single document, collaborative office tools allow people to simultaneously work on a single online document. These online documents are typically backed up automatically so that earlier versions of the document are easily accessible.
