Google DocVerse Buy Builds Bridge For Google Apps, Microsoft Office
Stepping up its fight against Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. acquired DocVerse, a technology startup that allows people to edit Microsoft Office files online.
Google paid around $25 million for the San Francisco-based company, according to a person familiar with the matter.
In an interview, Jonathan Rochelle, group product manager for Google Apps, said Google acquired DocVerse to make it easier for people to transition from desktop software to online software. The latter is an area where Google is trying to get a leg up over Microsoft, with its Google Apps service, which includes online word-processing and spreadsheet software. He declined to comment on the deal’s price.
