Adobe Enters Office Market

Adobe has launched itself into the online office market (well almost). They have released an online office suite today minus a spreadsheet package at Acrobat.com. Never mind what they have done is very slick and I’m sure the spreadsheet will come eventually.

So just what did they release. Well first off there is Buzzword which is the flagship product. Guess what it is......Ok it’s a word processor but I’m sure you figured that out already. As stated it is pure Adobe in terms being very nicely designed and totally slick. Puts other online word processor to shame on the design front. Adobe have implement this very nicely using Flash and Flex. It is also very easy to setup documents up for collaboration at various levels.

Other products in the suite are Connect Now which is a online whiteboard/conferencing tool. Share which as the name suggest allows you to share documents with others but with a twist. No need to email off large documents. Finally there is MyFiles which is where you can store your stuff. Up to 5GB in fact.

Adobe have done a great job here with a very nicely designed, sleek and well thought out offering. Once the spreadsheet package is added then I think they could become a serious player in the office suite market. Another nail in Microsoft’s coffin!
