Microsoft, I think, is a company that doesn’t take things lying down. Despite being trounced by Google at every turn these days, the software giant is still determined to beat the younger up-start. Personally, I think Microsoft won’t succeed. Like IBM’s Lotus Notes, Microsoft’s Office 365, the cloud version of its offline software is not [...]
Google is piling on the competitive pressure onto Microsoft. It has just announced it is releasing a new app – Quickoffice for use on the iPhone and Android devices. The interesting thing about this is that Google is targeting two groups of business people. On the one hand Quickoffice is available for anyone who subscribes [...]
IBM is perhaps one of the oldest and most well respected computing companies, but over the last few years this reputation has been dissipating as far as I am concerned. Rather than admit that it lost the plot over Lotus Notes the company is still trying to encourage people that this particular product is worth [...]
Microsoft recently announced that its Windows 8 platform will no longer sync with Google Apps Calendar. In fact, it seems that Microsoft has shut down the facility – sort of. That said, it appears that this will only affect paid Google Apps users and business accounts. From what I gather, anyone else can continue as [...]
Are you still using outdated IT and email systems such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange? If you are, then perhaps it is time you looked at what Google Apps can offer you. Google’s products are cloud-based and are now considered to be just about the best on the market. They are also very easy [...]
For many years I have used Microsoft’s Office suite. It generally came already installed on the computer. However, while the office aspect of the suite was great (and still is), the email aspect was, for me, becoming increasingly frustrating. For example, I had to download all emails to my hard drive, and depending on how [...]
After weighing up the potential benefits of Google Apps for Education and Microsoft’s Office 365, Chicago Public Schools Board (the third largest of its type) has switched to the former. While an obvious blow to Microsoft, which had hoped to start making some inroads into Google’s market share in the education sector, it’s a great [...]
In what could perhaps be a mistake for the software giant, a company spokesman recently issued a scathing remark about Google, attacking the latter’s approach to business applications. Speaking with tomsguide.com, Julia White said: “Google has not yet shown they are truly serious about the enterprise app business. From the outside, they are an advertising [...]
For a long time now the standard two IT systems, particularly for email used by both businesses and government departments throughout the globe were Microsoft Exchange or IBM’s Lotus Notes. However, with the advent of cloud computing many businesses started to realise that these particular email systems, in particular Lotus Notes, were no longer viable. [...]
Last year must have been one of Google’s best years yet. With around five million users it is giving the likes of Microsoft a run for its money. Yet, I believe the software giant still thinks Google is a just a minor player, not to be taken seriously. That seems to be the opinion of [...]
