As an effort to give BlackBerry a productivity boost, RIM has acquired DataViz, a developer of Exchange and Office solutions based on Microsoft licences. According to Crack Berry, Dataviz, the maker of the popular Documents To Go software was acquired by RIM for $50 million, but the companies has not made any statement regarding the news.
Founded in 1984, DataViz offers a suite of mobile apps for all of the major Microsoft Office formats: Word to Go, Sheet to Go, Slideshow to Go, and PDF to Go. The free version loaded on most BlackBerrys allows the users to read any files for PowerPoint, Word, Excel, or Adobe Reader, but have to shell out some cash for the premium version to do any mobile editing.
DataViz announced that it would not be making a webOS version of Documents To Go. In a statement on its Facebook page, the company said, "We regret to announce that we have made the difficult decision to not produce a Web OS version of Documents To Go. We would like to explain in more detail the reasoning behind our decisions thus far."
