Quickoffice has been acquired by Google providing the search giant with a set of mobile productivity apps to add to its GoogleApps offering.

Compatible with Microsoft Office apps the QuickOffice suite is available on Apple iOS, Google Android and Nokia Symbian.

“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 [Google] Apps product suite,” wrote Alan Warren, engineering director at Google, in a blog post.

Alan Masarek, Co-Founder and CEO of Quickoffice, said, “By combining the magic of Google's intuitive solutions with Quickoffice's powerful products, our shared vision for anytime, anywhere productivity can only grow.”

Forrester Research analyst Ted Schadler said he expects Google to add features to the Quickoffice app so it can sync with work done through Google Apps on office and home computers.
