Donedesk Word 2007/2010 Redaction Tool - Home Scribblar - Free Interactive Online Whiteboard Live Documents - Office for the Internet Generation. Presentations, Spreadsheets, Word. The pre-eminent office productivity suite used by businesses worldwide is Microsoft Office - a set of twenty-year old applications that are still stuck to the desktop and have been completely untouched by the Internet zeitgeist. People still create documents on their desktop and use a variety of painful ways to share and manage these documents leading to spaghetti document versions and wasteful email cycles. Alternatives haven't taken off... The likes of Google have attempted to enlist the Internet to power their office applications (Google Docs) - however, the benefits that they bring to the table such as mobility and collaboration are offset by some inadequacies - lack of many features that users of Microsoft Office are familiar with and demand and loss of data and fidelity when you import/export your existing Microsoft Office documents. Presenting Live Documents - Office updated for the Internet Generation. Try it today - See for yourself.

Collaboration is beautiful: Introducing Boards in Asana We’re building Asana to be a place where everyone can work together effortlessly, no matter what role they’re in, how they organize their work, or what goal they are trying to reach. To that end, today we’re starting to roll out our first version of Boards in Asana, giving you another way to plan, prioritize, and track anything you’re working on, any way you want. Teams have been visualizing their work in columns on a board for decades. With this initial version of Boards, visual thinkers can now organize and track their work from within Asana. All your work, all in one place Customers are already tracking work beyond tasks and projects in Asana, on the heels of our custom fields launch earlier this year. Here are a few other ways you and your team might want to try using Boards: The board layout provides a simple and intuitive way for any team to manage projects small and large — right alongside all your other work in Asana. A feast for the eyes The power to grow with you How it works
