Abstract

gOFFICE.com, by Silveroffice, Inc., provides an online office suite which allows customers to quickly create documents via a web browser. The customer types in their browser, chooses a letterhead design and receives a professionally formatted PDF file in moments. Customers do not require Adobe Acrobat, as the PDF files are created on the gOFFICE servers. The output from gOFFICE is of high quality. Have a look at this example.

Silveroffice was founded in March 2003 by Kevin L. Warnock, after Warnock sold his previous Internet company, Hotpaper.com, Inc., to GoAmerica, Inc. 

Warnock's customers at his earlier venture included large institutions including Intel, Hewlett Packard, Boeing, Lucent, AT&T, Texaco, MCI, Coca-Cola, Northrop-Grumman, Ziff-Davis, Ericsson, Blue Shield, the US Marine Corp., AIG, City National Bank, General Motors Acceptance Corp., Salesforce.com, Bank of America and the US Patent & Trademark Office. Warnock has 16 years of experience in the electronic document field. Silveroffice is headquartered in San Francisco.

 

Press Releases

April 17, 2007 - gOffice.com Software as a Service (SAAS) Office Suite Announces Subscription Web Business Suite

Silveroffice, Inc., makers of gOffice.com (www.goffice.com), today announced its new subscription service for business users. gOffice is a subscription-based website which offers genuine typesetting online. This service was quietly launched around six months ago, and this press release makes it official.

Silveroffice, Inc., makers of gOffice.com, today announced its new subscription service. For the monthly cost of an Apple iTune, users can access the gOffice word processor, desktop publisher and spreadsheet editor. gOffice also offers subscribers an original text library, to provide templates to use as is or to edit as needed.

gOffice.com users do not sacrifice quality of output by using a web-based word processor. "To the contrary, the output of gOffice often surpasses the typographic quality of output from any online or legacy word processor on the market" said Kevin Warnock, company founder and CEO.  Warnock explained the key to gOffice's outstanding output quality: "gOffice is a typesetter disguised as a word processor. We've wrapped the legendary TeX typesetting engine by famed computer scientist Donald Knuth in a sleek, easy-to-use web interface." The only output that matches gOffice output comes from costly publishing tools such as Adobe InDesign, designed for local installation on a computer.

TeX , used by thousands of mathematicians, scientists and physicists, produces publication quality output, and is used extensively to publish journals and books. Normally, using TeX requires typing written commands that resemble computer source code. gOffice users avoid such complexities, and interact with a friendly editor. To preserve the outstanding output quality of TeX , gOffice outputs its results to Portable Document Format (PDF) files. gOffice documents can be edited at the site, eliminating the difficulty with editing PDF documents.

The gOffice site has approximately 50,000 users. gOffice was created with Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server technology.  Silveroffice, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
