Challenging tech giants like
Microsoft and Google, Chennai-headquartered software development company
Zoho Corporation has launched a fully integrated, single software
platform that brings together collaboration, productivity and
communications tools under one roof.
Zoho Workplace provides a
unified platform with multi-faceted communications like email,
messaging, audio and video conferencing; a cloud office suite with
shared file storage; common team and collaboration paradigms built into
each of the products; and AI, search, and other services that span right
across the entire suite.
"The nature of work has undeniably
changed, and Workplace has grown to meet that change," said Vijay
Sundaram, Zoho's Chief Strategy Officer.
More than 25 per cent of new ‘Zoho Workplace' customers have made the decision to switch over from Google G Suite and Microsoft.
"Collaboration platforms need to facilitate better business outcomes, not just improve productivity," he said in a statement.
The platform costs $3 per user per month for the standard version and $6 per user per month for the professional version.
‘Zoho
Workplace' includes nine tightly mingled applications, built on a
common data model and unified through common search and AI across one
dashboard, allowing customers to solve business problems quickly and
collaboratively.
"Workplace, through pre-built integrations with
powerful business apps and context and continuity across applications,
devices, and departments, stands alone in having the vision and
functionality to meet the broad business needs of today," Sundaram said.
'Zoho Workplace' witnessed rapid adoption in the last quarter,
now supporting two million organisations, with 15 million users located
across more than 150 countries.
"Zoho Workplace brings
simplicity and sophistication to communication and collaboration, all in
a single suite not found anywhere else in the industry," said Mark
Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer at Ventana Research.
With
the platform, users can now make audio or video calls from within the
app, edit document attachments in Zoho Writer, meet online with
contacts, and access all email accounts from within Zoho Mail.
Users
can schedule recurring or one-off meetings and set multiple email
reminders from web and mobile devices. Now supporting 16 languages,
Meeting is integrated with Zoho Projects, Bookings, CRM, and others, the
company said.
