For all the sound roughly - and from - Google giving microsoft project 2010 a run for its money in the office/productivity market, the actuality is kinda different, according to Forrester Investigate! New Forrester assemblage, free on May 11, claims that 81% of the enterprises it surveyed are flowing Office 2007 and 78% supportive SharePoint, compared to only 4% using Google Apps! Forrester also says that one tierce of scrutiny respondents are already intellection an raise to project professional 2010 within the close 12 months! Forrester analysts plant that those it surveyed are mentation virtually squirming to SharePoint 2010 before they advise to Role 2010! They also initiate in cases where enterprises had "ms project 2010 alternatives" installed or state installed, that these alternatives were statesman complements to Microsoft Power than replacements for it! Sometimes these alternatives are aimed at peculiar men segments within a larger activity, Forrester said! From Forrester's conclusions: "The alternatives to Microsoft Staff today do not contend the needs of the enterprises Forrester surveyed! Standard end person barriers to appropriation of alternatives let demand of required functionality, third-party integration requirements, person approving, deficiency of unlined interoperability with Staff, and legacy cognition link needs! These gaps present be bridged in the reaching life as Google, OpenOffice.org, and others big!" Google has been on a moving lead for the other week-plus, gathering with umteen of us in the Microsoft blogging/press corps to force its communication that Google Docs/Google Apps has been making a serious mar in Microsoft's Office/SharePoint saccharine bemire! I opine competition is a groovy target - for customers and for partners! But I still haven't seen numerous monumental businesses itinerant to Google! Google execs commentary that it's interesting to see Microsoft "acknowledging" Google with moves such as the intro of Duty Docs.com (the Duty Web Apps-Facebook integrating cast from Microsoft's Fusee Labs)! I concord with Google: There is no way that Microsoft didn't judge "Google Docs" when denotive and positioning State Docs.com! Notwithstanding, I also exploit it effective that Google is propulsion a "we're not an Office alternative; we're a collaboration-tool complement" messaging reactionist before the State 2010 propulsion!
