Google Bridges Microsoft Office to Google Apps with DocVerse Purchase
Google has Bridged Microsoft Office and Google Apps with Google's purchase of DocVerse. Google purchased DocVerse on March 5. The purchase price for the DocVerse plug-in is reported as $25 million dollars. DocVerse takes Microsoft Office documents that are created off-line with the Microsoft Office Suite and converts them to online versions that can be stored in the cloud. Then the online version can be displayed or edited with Google Apps. Subsequent changes made to the Microsoft Office Document are also made to the online version. Now users of Google Apps Docs can access the Microsoft Office Documents they have created off-line and store / update them form the cloud. It is expected that Google will make DocVerse a free download.
