Dropbox, Box, Asana, Airtable, Zoho, Amazon, Adobe. There's other ways they could grow to become Microsoft that don't start with document editing. Adobe in particular would be an attractive mix. Google and Facebook sound like mediocre homes, because they already offer such overlapping suites, but maybe its just about user acquisition. Oracle would probably be interested in monetizing chat.
At the end of the day though, they will need a competitive spreadsheet offering. Everyone needs spreadsheets.
- lewisjoe 6y agoYes, unlike other softwares office suite is too complicated a problem to pursue. Zoho's cloud office suite is the only thing that comes close to Microsoft's offerings. And Zoho does offers a spreadsheet software as part of its suite.
