Central Desktop adds spreadsheets to their mix
Central Desktop has just expanded its collaboration platform with online spreadsheets from Teams and Concepts Limited's EditGrid. With the addition, Central Desktop users can collaborate on spreadsheets in real-time within the Central Desktop environment, which also includes collaborative document editing, Web and audio conferencing, discussion threads and versioned file tracking.
As a result of Central Desktop's EditGrid integration, Central Desktop users can now:
- Create, edit and share online spreadsheets in real-time
- Import and export online spreadsheets to and from Microsoft Excel
- Store online spreadsheets in a secure, password protected workspace environment
- Apply user permissions to control access (read, edit, add, delete)
- Export as XLS, XML, OpenDocument, OpenOffice.org, HTML, PDF and CSV file formats
- Create more than 30 types of charts (bar charts, pie charts, etc.)
- Automatically fetch and store stock quotes, foreign currency rates and website data into a spreadsheet
- Access more than 500 formulas and functions
EditGrid is now included with Central Desktop's standard pricing which starts at $25/month for 10 users. Additional plans accommodating larger teams and companies are available. A limited free version of the service is also available for trial use.
