Google Docs replaces the inefficient use of other collaboration tools. It improves the quality of output by enabling collaboration and discussion of the document simultaneously– multiple people in multiple locations can view, discuss, and edit the same document from anywhere at any time. Google Docs eliminates inefficient check-in / check-out procedures and publishing makes it easier to disseminate information across the whole domain so you can leverage one of your most important business assets– your intellectual property. It also reduces duplicate work and confusing document tracking and version control issues while simultaneously eliminating the concern of exceeding disk space and inbox quotas with the standard back and forth emailing procedure. Google Docs is simple, but not simplistic in its functionality, which means less time required for user training. Furthermore, Google Docs has secure sharing. Each Doc requires a login so you don’t have to worry about information getting into the wrong hands.
