SpreadsheetLIVE Beta Enters the Web Office Fray

Spreadsheets are especially useful for geographically dispersed project teams looking to centralize project data like issues tracking, requirements gathering, action items, scheduling and other data capture tasks. Web-based spreadsheets can put all these data intensive tasks online, where project teams can collaborate on the information in a secure environment.

SpreadsheetLIVE Beta from Pagos is a new entry into the web office applications space, currently dominated by Google, Microsoft and Zoho. Pagos is targeting corporate intranets, but also has a hosted version that could be useful for many web workers. Currently, this hosted version is available for free.

SpreadsheetLIVE has an easy-to-use layout that makes creating, uploading and accessing spreadsheets very simple. In my experience, of all the basic office applications, spreadsheets give most trouble to users, so anything an application can do to help the user get started is a bonus.
