Live Documents offers a "Services PLUS Software" value proposition - the primary intended use case is to leverage the capabilities of productivity applications within a browser - nothing to download or install. However, we realize that internet connectivity is not ubiquitious...yet.
So, we offer a software component to complement the service - users can optionally download a desktop client that plugs into Microsoft Office and converts these standalone applications to web-enabled smart clients. In addition to providing collaborative capabilities, the desktop version enables offline access.
Live Documents seamlessly
extends the mainstream productivity applications
that you use everyday and allows you to share
and manage documents created in these tools.
