Abstract
This IDC study discusses the findings of a QuickPoll survey
fielded in July 2009 to gauge adoption of alternative office
productivity tools and Microsoft SharePoint and to assess customer needs
and priorities for content management.
"Microsoft continues to dominate the desktop
office tools market, of course, but we are seeing increased
adoption of Web-based office productivity tools such as Google Docs.
It will be interesting to see how Microsoft' s launch of
Office Web Apps impacts this adoption," said Melissa Webster, IDC
program vice president for Content and Digital Media Technologies. "SharePoint
adoption continues to grow strongly, as organizations expand their use
of SharePoint beyond portals and team sites to content management.
Web content management may be the next area where content
management vendors start to see increased competition from Microsoft."
