Google Spreadsheet for Small Business

Google is the poor man’s software. In the latest fact, Google has started free online spreadsheet feature.

Targetted users of this spreadsheet include:

1. Soccer moms
2. Little league baseball coaches
3. Church bazaar organizers
4. College students
5. Small businesses of less than 10 employees

This spreadsheet is not fortune for big companies, so is this spreadsheet making competition with Microsoft. Now Google is continuing to prove itself in 7-kind of office desktop software, which is likely to make immediate impact on source of income of Microsoft.
Analysts say that it will not work for big corporate sector and it will not be able to take over the customers of Microsoft but certainly, it will find its own audience.

Peter O’Kelly, an analyst for the Burton Group said,

I don’t think a Web-centric spreadsheet offering from Google will be a successful direct competitor to Excel or other traditional spreadsheet tools.

An analyst say that the real benefit of Google Spreadsheet is that reaches to all advertisers and generate almost Google’s revenues.

Joe Wilcox, a Jupiter analyst said,

Google may enjoy playing with Microsoft’s mind.

We can only expect that small companies will adopt the spreadsheets. This would be good to have occasional need of Web-based product.
