Xedapp is a social business collaboration platform that allows users to work on documents together in real-time without having to email documents back and forth. It eliminates errors from merging documents and provides updates instantly as changes are made. Users can continue working locally in Microsoft Office programs while content is shared between collaborators through an online server. Xedapp provides productivity gains over traditional methods, an easy deployment either on-premise or in the cloud, and social features to help the right content bubble up through comments and likes.
