Now that even IBM also has launched its online office software which needs to be downloaded and involves a lot of offline work to be done… well there are other online office suites which do not require any download and is highly compatible with spreadsheets, MS Word and many other apps.. for eg you can consider eDeskOnline which is a cool online office suite which is worth a try.. You can ven synchronise your mobile contacts with your edesk account which gives you a safe backup of contacts in case you loose your sim card and other unavoided unfortunate circumstances, you can even access your eDeskOnline through mobile which should be GPRS enabled handsets….

True SOX does not mandate you keep records on your own servers, but it does require that you “Evaluate controls over the safeguarding of assets” including an in-depth analysis of workflow, and fraud prevention controls.

Without speaking from direct knowledge I have to believe that Salesforce has gone through this process, while it is hard for me to accept that any of the online office vendors have. Furthermore, there are plenty of other government regulations that would affect the protection and security of documents – HIIPA for one.

While all of these recent announcements (IBM/OpenOffice, Adobe/Buzzword, MS Office Live, Google Presently, Zoho) are interesting news items, each solution is missing two major components – the offline/online capabilities, and an on-premise solution.

ThinkFree is the only office suite vendor that has these options. We have the widest variety of deployment options of anyone – online, offline, hybrid (offline/online), on-demand (ThinkFree hosted), on premise (hosted by a portal, web service, or behind a company firewall), desktop, portable, and mobile.

ThinkFree Premium allows you to create and edit office documents offline. We also automatically synchronize files between your desktop and online account. None of the other office vendors have this, not Google, Microsoft, or Adobe. After synchronizing the documents online you can share, collaborate and publish your work.

ThinkFree Server runs on premise. Large organizations like the LA City Public Library and Ryder Trucking host the applications in central locations within their own network. Hundreds and thousands of computers then access those servers to run the applications from remote locations. No other office vendor has these capabilities.

Our free service, ThinkFree Online, has the highest level of MS Office compatibility available and the deepest functionality of any online office suite. These capabilities have allowed us to become the second largest online office suite after Google.
