Excel marries Groove

by Volker Weber

Here is what Ashok has to say about his new tool:

Excel, that great collaborative Application marriesGroove, the great collaborative Platform.Without doubt, Excel is one of the catalytic applications of the PC age – more business people learned to use it even before they used E-Mail. Some learned to use a PC because they needed to use Excel. Many SME’s in fact, use Excel as the primary data capture tool.

Excel is also a naturally collaborative application, as figures are contributed by team members dispersed over departments and locations, or shared across management likewise.

To be able to change a Single Cell in an Excel sheet and have that instantly ripple across all users is power that was just not available – till Groove came along to provide the underlying platform.

I hate to break some old news to Ashok,

but collaboration of dispersed groups on spreadsheets is hardly something new...Lotus 123 could do that already ~7 years ago. And it was in fact Lotus 123 which was THE catalyst application for the PC, not Excel. Excel didn't even exist at this time.
