If you have switched to G Suite from Microsoft or plan to do so in the near future, if you interact with colleagues or people outside your Company who use different solutions from yours, if you want to migrate to G Suite and are afraid that this will compromise your data and its formatting this post is for you!
Did you know that Google has introduced updates that make your work more consistent, increasing productivity and giving continuity to the actions you do daily even from different solution applications?
It is possible,for example, to edit Microsoft Office files directly in Google Apps,without converting them and without messing up the formatting. This facilitates communication and prevents multiple copies of the same file from being created.
Where before you had to convert Office files to formats supported by Google Docs or use Office Compatibility Mode (OCM) with limited functionality, now everything works with one click. Just open the Microsoft Office file in Google Documents and start working! For example in Google Sheets you can manage Pivot tables, macro formulas, integrations with your SAP software.
What files are supported by Google Documents, Sheets and Presentations
Here are the files supported by Google Documents, Sheets and Presentations:
- Word files: .doc, .docx, .dot
- Excel Files: .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm (macro-enabled Excel files), .xlt
- Powerpoint files: .ppt, .pptx, .pps, .pot
Why do Companies happen to work with applications of different solutions?
Companies often find themselves managing and working with files from different solutions because their communications intersect with those of partners, vendors, and other teams, other times because by migrating to G Suite they leave some old licenses active because they are afraid of losing the work they have done, or because, out of habit, someone within the team fears upsetting their certainties.
Thanks to this update, real-time collaboration tools meet your business habits and make your work easier.
