After more than a year in making EditGrid has launched its integration with Salesforce and also for the first time introduced consumer side pricing for the web-based spreadsheets(only for SF users). EditGrid in SF comes with all the existing spreadsheet features with additional ability to open view, edit and share Salesforce reports using EditGrid. This great piece of integration comes at a tiny price of $5 month per user.
EditGrid joins the group of some of the most innovative and timely Salesforce AppExchange integrations that I have covered till date which include EchoSign, Koral, CentralDesktop, and Spanning Salesforce. Salesforce with its user oriented approach provides the best breeding ground for these productivity apps that can rattle enterprise class players Microsoft, IBM, EMC, and others. For a small price users can get first hand experience of the productivity tools which they feel are important in their everyday workplace. This methodology goes opposite to the existing mind set, where users need to wait on their IT Managers to go through the entire review process before dumping the product ’cause of high licensing and maintenance costs. A high-featured spreadsheet that has no upgrade pains associated but instead gives you the advantage of new features getting rolled in automatically all for $5 is THE bargain you should grab without even thinking twice.

[...] For the past more than 1 year DabbleDB guys have been working on some impressive database work out in Vancouver. With EditGrid and GoogleSpredsheets trying to take on Microsoft headon, Dabble wants to stay clear and add much needed intelligence to our data. But what they were missing till today was an important piece of functionality – Charts. Couple of options we had till now- EditGrid and IBM Many Eyes. Anyway wait is over for Dabble fans. Today Dabble launched the charting feature that does intelligent guessing on your data and plots it accordingly onto Line or bar charts. I would like to see more charting options but this is great to start with. [...]

[...] The HongKong based web-based spreadsheet services provider EditGrid has finally come out of its year long beta and launched a subscription service for companies and organizations. Pricing is similar to the Salesforce integration that EditGrid had launched last month- $5/user/month. Good part of this new change is that the service still stays free for personal users. [...]

[...] CentralDesktop team is making sure that they don’t end up reinventing the wheel and still integrate the best web-based applications in their solid collaboration platform. So last month CentralDesktop got together with EditGrid in a new partnership that enables CD users to create spreadsheets right from their workspace. This is the 3rd major revenue generation hookup in the past 40 days for the best web-based spreadsheet provider. Earlier EditGrid had announced pricing for Company/Team based access and also launched its integration with Salesforce. CentralDesktop had also done similar integration with Salesforce earlier this year in form of Customer Extranets. [...]

[...] Salesforce today announced that it will be launching a new product, AppSpace that will bring together companies and customers in a secure branded On-Demand environment. From the initial details emerging about the product, companies will be able to share data from specific applications with select customers. This approach, which was long expected from Salesforce, companies to reuse their internal customized Salesforce system and data to generate customer facing portals. Best part of this launch is that companies will be able to expose default as well as custom tabs including AppExchange apps with their customers. Customers will be able to share spreadsheets, projects created in DreamTeam, Discussion boards, knowledgebase articles with customers. Definitely lot of functionality delivered for the Salesforce customers in a single shot who otherwise had to go through hoops to make their data presentable to end-clients in a secure manner. [...]

[...] I just think that only those application services will survive in the market that somehow integrate with storage service providers. Zoho is doing that successfully already by offering their services via APIs to Omnidrive and Box.net. Editgrid integrates with Centraldesktop and Salesforce, which represents a different take on the topic of integration. If you’d ask me I vote for the storage service provider (SSP) integration or even better both. Writewith should hurry they offer some neat functionality. [...]
