Office software at work

As a sort-of follow-up to last month?s look at office software at home, we now look with goo Research at office software at work, as reported on by japan.internet.com.

Demographics

Between the 16th and 19th of August 2011 1,084 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.5% of the sample were male, 16.4% in their teens, 18.3% in their twenties, 21.6% in their thirties, 16.1% in their forties, 15.5% in their fifties, and 12.2% aged sixty or older.

We?re all Microsoft Office at work, and as it?s only Office 2003 and as more and more people are now moving to 2007 or 2010, it?s getting worse and worse with forward compatibility, and indeed just last week I had a file that would crash Word if I double-clicked it on the file, but if I loaded it up from the File Open diaglog all the text would be completely invisible.

Research results

Of the original sample of people, 47.2%, or 512 people, were employed and used an office suite at their place of work. Of the 512, 232 people, or 45.3% used paid software, although how many of the other 54.7% used free software and how many just didn?t know is sadly not reported. Those 232 using paid software were asked the following.

Q1: Is your paid software an online version or a packaged version? (Sample size=232)

Online version	7.8%
Package version	72.0%
Don?t know	19.4%
Forgot	0.9%

Of the 18 who used online software, 7 of them used Microsoft?s Office 365, 2 used ThinkFree Office, and one used Google Apps.
