Google Forms - Using the Cloud

Acquiring and sending data has now been taken to another level. Welcome to the cloud, welcome to Google Docs. The race is on to see what software company can make the most impact with regards to cloud computing. Google has set the mark with Google Docs and Google Forms.  
                                                                                                     



"“To the extent that the industry is moving toward an on-demand business model, it poses a threat to Microsoft,” said Kenneth Wasch, president of the Software and Information Industry Association and a longtime Microsoft adversary "(Markoff 2007).   Game on!!!

Now associates can work simultaneously on a project, get instant updates. A project manager has a perfect tool to handle any major project and save valuable time. Meetings can be more meaningful, because everyone can now easily be on the same page, or they maybe be eliminated do to everyone having access to the project.

Whether a firm is planning the yearly company picnic and forms a committee to handle the event planning to major construction jobs,  by using the cloud updating is at your finger tips.

Surveys are a great way to get feedback from customers. When feedback is shared, everyone benefits from the information that is collected.


Check out my little survey I put together on the Buffalo Sabres.
