Google Docs – “the best thing since sliced bread for small business”

by on 17th February 2012  •  In Marketing Books, Software

Google Docs is the best thing since sliced bread for small business. Now you don’t need to buy a Microsoft Office licence for each and every PC you have; just use Google Docs instead. For many small business tasks, you now don’t need a server and/or a local network to share your files and collaborate with your co-workers, just use your  free Google Docs account and store and share you work in the cloud. If you need more space than the 1GB Google Docs gives you free, it is really cheap.

Google Docs and its cloud technology has now made the following obsolete for many small business tasks:

  • Microsoft Office
  • Email
  • Memory Sticks
  • CDs
  • DVDs
  • External Storage Drives
  • Local Area Networks
