Google Buys DocVerse

DocVerse, a company owned by two former Microsoft employees, is now owned by Google. Google acquired DocVerse, a company that makes software that allows Office users to share documents online and allows multiple people edit a document without having to e-mail attachments back and forth.

“DocVerse combines the benefits of web-based collaboration tools like Google Docs and Zoho with the power and familiarity of the world’s most popular productivity application, Microsoft Office. DocVerse offers the first ever product to truly enable real-time sharing and editing of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files. Its key advantage is that it does not require you to learn a new way to work by seamlessly plugging into Microsoft Office.”
