站群网:站群Docs与Office&Box.net更深入地集成

对于像站群Docs这样的基于云的服务，主要挑战之一是如何与现有的普及生产力机制完全有效地集成。虽然站群确实提供了创新的云存储和文档创建选项的优势，但由于Office 365，这一优势可能会在不久的将来消失。可能要确保站群Docs的生命线不断，Docs与两项主要服务（Microsoft）的集成Office和Box.net –正在扩展。

对于Microsoft Office，有问题的合作伙伴当然不是Microsoft本身。相反，它是已调整为Microsoft Office的独立的站群教程“站群Cloud Connect”软件。 Cloud Connect服务已经存在了一段时间，但缺少一些功能。现在添加的一项更为突出的功能是：可以直接从站群Docs打开文件，直接从Microsoft Office查看和编辑文件的功能。您甚至可以在提供的对话框中使用搜索选项来查找目标文档ckly.

Box.net, meanwhile, will allow users to open their 站群 Docs files directly from their Box profile. As explained by Aaron Levie站群网, CEO of Box.net, “Box’s 6 million users can easily create and collaborate on 站群 Docs and Spreadsheets from within Box, as well as edit the existing 50M+ Word and Excel files already stored on our platform.” Box.net hopes that the collaboration with Docs will help expedite how quickly cloud software takes over as the main way to interact with documents and files, and by choosing 站群 Docs over Microsoft, Box.net is making an easily observable statement about how open the cloud should be. In the Box.net press release, Levi stated, that the company is “betting that platforms built around openness will triumph over the closed, proprietary approach” – such as that represented by Microsoft Office 365.
