eXpresso document collaboration for LotusLive

Finally, a way to edit files with other people without sending email attachments back and forth.

eXpresso™ is a secure, browser-based service that enables users to view or edit any shared Excel®, PowerPoint®, or Word file online. Our award-winning solution exists to bring people together on a single, living version of a file, instead of sending multiple copies out to people each time it changes. No more trying to figure out who has the latest version of your files! People can finally work on the same file at the same time. And since eXpresso utilizes Microsoft® Office directly through your browser, most users don't need extra support or training. It's full Excel collaboration for your enterprise.

Here are popular some features our customers use to collaborate on important enterprise spreadsheets:

Upload files to expresso Upload Office Docs
Upload your Office docs to the cloud, so you and others can access them from anywhere. Uploading a file is as simple. Just browse to the file while in eXpresso and click Upload.

Key Benefit: You can finally stop resending email attachments every time a file changes.

Share files in the cloud. Share/Edit Office Docs inside your Browser
Share files with anyone who has an email address. But beyond simple file sharing, eXpresso actually allows multiple people to edit the same file at the same time. No more sending files back and forth!

Key Benefit: All users instantly see each others changes in real time.

Define what the person can edit within a file Define Rights Inside the File
Only eXpresso allows you to make portions of a file editable or visible to others without giving them full access or other data in the file you prefer not to share.

Key Benefit: Users can have different rights and views to the same file.

Alerts keep you informed of file activities. Set Alerts
Alerts notify the file owner when changes are made, who made the changes, when these changes were made, and what the pre- and post-change data values are. For example, you may set alerts down to the cell-level using the "Track Cells" feature.

Key Benefit: Know when someone takes an action on your files.

Edit your files online Edit in your Browser
Edit files directly from Internet Explorer. No need to upload or download files to your desktop. Plus, multiple people may edit the same file at the same time. It truly is real-time cloud collaboration.

Key Benefit: All changes are made to a centrally accessible file.

eXpresso Off-line Add-In For Microsoft® Office
The eXpresso Add-In for Microsoft® Office gives you off-line access to your online docs. It combines the convenience of editing inside Excel®, PowerPoint®, and Word with the sharing and collaborative environment offered by eXpresso. Truly the best of both worlds.

Key Benefit: Take your work on the plane or on the road.

Assign rights to people so they can view or edit your files. Access Controls
Assign specific "rights" to designated users: view only, limited editing, and full editing. Plus, access may be changed at any time. For example, remove all rights when a person changes roles or employment.

Key Benefit: Complete ability to customize how different people work with the same file.

 
View File History
Maintain a complete auditable history of your files for tracking and compliance purposes. See when edits are made and when the file is downloaded, shared, or locked by you or another user.

Key Benefit: Maintains an audit trail of file activity for reference or compliance.

Add Contacts
You may add anybody to your list of eXpresso users, but since files may only be shared with other eXpresso users, you may need to invite new users to sign up for their free trial. Simply enter their email address and brief note, and we'll take care of the rest.

Key Benefit: Easily share your files with the same group of people.

Web-based Chat
Communication is key to great collaboration. That's why we enable users to chat about their file activity, plus we associate and archive the chat with the specific file. So not only can you be working on the same file at the same time, you can be discussing the edits being made.

Key Benefit: Discuss edits while they are being made.

Great ways to manage your file Tags, Notes and Folders
Notes are great for communicating thoughts to other users. Use custom Tags (e.g. "Forecasts" or "Budgets") to categorize and filter your file list. Folders help you organize your files in a familiar way. Techies call it metadata. We call it logic.

Key Benefit: Organize your file however it makes sense to you.
