Google engineering director Alan Warren wrote on a blog post “Quickoffice has an established track record of enabling seamless interoperability with popular file formats, and we'll be working on bringing their powerful technology to our apps product suite.”

Quickoffice are based in Texas and will now become part of the Google Apps team, although neither company have announced if the employees will move to the Google HQ, or remain where they are now.
