In office suite software, you have a collection of applications meant to work together. Without delving into the whole question of the value of these collections, let us delve into why they are valuable in general. These collections include essential solutions that most users need. Word processing, number crunching, data storage, e-mail, etc. But in all cases, the suite and its contents are defined by others.
Hana allows YOU to define your office suite. You can grab apps from Google or others and you can mix and match! Like your Yahoo! mail or Hotmail and Google's Documents and Spreadsheets? Then use them!
Also, you can add Backpack or Basecamp from 37 Signals to complete your suite! The possibilities are endless!
With Hana and appropriate web apps you can do word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, web editing, flow charting, email, organization, contact management, scheduling, even photo editing!
