<p>December 10, 2013, 1:00 PM Huddle's enterprise content collaboration suite now has a native component for creating, editing and sharing documents, an attempt by the company to reduce its customers' usage of Microsoft's Word and OneNote applications.</p><p>Huddle Note, as the new application is called, is designed for quick, ad-hoc taking and sharing of notes within the cloud suite's interface, a more convenient option, the company hopes, to using third-party word processors and note-taking apps.</p><p>"We wanted to let users create lightweight content within Huddle, and not have to go elsewhere to do it, and share the documents right from there," said Alastair Mitchell, Huddle's CEO. "It's very natural for us to build a tool like this."</p><p>Huddle's suite, which is cloud-based, competes against Microsoft's SharePoint server in areas like file sharing, document management, building intranets and extranets, and content collaboration. Thus, cutting into its customers' use of Word and OneNote is right in line with Huddle's overall strategy to position itself as an alternative to SharePoint.</p><p><a href="http://www.itworld.com/enterprise-software/386735/huddle-gives-its-content-collaboration-suite-word-and-onenote-alternative">Keep reading...</a></p>
