DocVerse has launched new downloadable plug-in for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, which turns these applications into web-based, collaboration tools. The plug-in makes any .doc, .ppt, or .xls file into a secure, web-based document that can be shared and edited by multiple users anytime, anywhere.
The company said that it makes sharing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel synonymous with saving them. Whenever a user saves a document on their desktop DocVerse automatically creates a web-based version of it in the cloud, which is shared with whomever the author has specified. The web-based versions of a document receive a shareable URL that can be accessed by author invitees.
According to DocVerse, groups of users will be able to use Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel to simultaneously edit the same document at the same time online or offline. DocVerse tracks, manages and synchs all changes to merge them into one updated version of the document.
Shan Sinha, CEO of DocVerse, said: This is huge step forward for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, which turns those unconnected islands on 600 million desktops worldwide into connected, Web-enabled collaboration tools in a way that no product has ever done before. And, best of all, you don’t need to learn anything new. DocVerse quickly and easily plugs into Word, PowerPoint and Excel, so you can keep working with those applications exactly the same way you always have – it just makes them better.
