Google Docs 'widely used' at 1 in 5 workplaces

From InfoWorld: The near total dominance of Microsoft Office in the workplace may be getting a serious challenge from Google Docs, according to a new survey by market research firm IDC.

The study's main finding is that about 1 in 5 companies reported that Google Docs is "widely used" in their workplace, however possibly as a compliment to Microsoft Office.

IDC surveyed 262 people, a significant number of whom are senior managers at various sized businesses, which points to rapidly increasing interest in Google's cloud-based office application .

A similar survey by IDC, a sister company of Computerworld 's parent company, IDG, in December 2007 found that 5 percent of those surveyed reported that Google Docs was "widely used" at their workplace. IDC's most recent survey, done in July, found wide use of Google Docs in 19.5 percent of the companies surveyed.
