Checking out Google Docs for the first time, I thought to myself, here we go again - another word processing system that will try and outdo Microsoft. After watching all the videos on Google Docs - I've become the #1 Fan. It makes sense that we really don't need all of that extra fancy stuff when we're creating a document. Give me the information, make it fast, make the changes and get it out there! I love the way you can share all of the docs, comment, add additional details without saving, attaching and sending out again after each change. I can already think of all of the time saving activities that we could use in our own office. It took about 30 emails, 10 revisions, different comments from others, some forgetting to attach the attachment, etc. to get a simple form done for a registration for an upcoming event. This could have been a quick fix with less stress and everyone's comments would be next to the form as we went along. I have got to get our company using G-Docs. I plan on instructing my staff to start using this and also those on my Wellness Committee. This is where we have numerous members who are involved in event planning and occasions that come together to make things happen. I foresee taking my original idea, sending it out to our team, have everyone comment and add their suggestions and additions, and coming up with a finished document in no time. I can't think of quicker way to get things done. This makes sense for us. How could you use this in your company?
