Forrester: Google still a distant Office competitor | ZDNet

I look forward to seeing the Google spin attempt on this information item

For all the noise about — and from — Google giving Microsoft a run for its money in the office/productivity market, the reality is rather different, according to Forrester Research.

New Forrester data, released on May 11, claims that 81% of the enterprises it surveyed are running Office 2007 and 78% supporting SharePoint, compared to only 4% using Google Apps. Forrester also says that one third of survey respondents are already planning an upgrade to Office 2010 within the next 12 months. (Forrester’s sample is 115 North American and European enterprise and SMB decision makers, the researchers said.)
