According to company officials, Central Desktop for Office helps people collaborate on files by allowing users to simultaneously co-author Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in real time, as well as open and save files directly into the cloud. The new Central Desktop for Office strengthens Central Desktop's position as the only SharePoint alternative for the mid-market that provides enterprise-level functionality at an affordable price.
