An online office suite can be accessed online from anywhere you have an Internet connection. This allows people to work together on the same data from anywhere in the world. These applications are often developed on the Web 2.0 paradigm and endeavor to allow you to perform all of these computer based tasks using online applications.
The term Office 2.0 refers to office productivity applications as published applications rather than stand-alone programs, leveraging the Web, rather than the more traditional applications running on a platform locally.
A paperless office is a work environment in which the use of paper is eliminated or greatly reduced. It is argued that "going paperless" can save money, boost productivity, save space, make electronic documentation and information sharing easier and minimize environmental damage. The concept can be extended to communications outside the office.To "go paperless" one uses systems that work entirely online and without the need to print on paper.
Advantages of an online virtual office:
The cost is low. In most cases, there is no specific charge for using the service for users who already have access to a computer with a web browser and a connection to the Internet.
There is no need to download or install software outside of the office suite's web page, including the ongoing upgrade chores of adding new features to or eliminating bugs from the office suite.
Online office suites can run out of thin clients with minimal hardware requirements.
Online office suites provide the ability for a group of people to share a document without the need to run their own server.
There is no need to purchase or upgrade a software license. Instead, the online office suite is available as software as a service.
Online office suites are portable. Users can access their documents from almost any computer with a connection to the Internet, regardless of which operating system they use.
If the user's computer fails, the documents are still safely stored on the remote server. Online service providers' backup processes and overall stability will generally be superior to that of most home systems.
