Zoho enhances its Zoho Workplace

Zoho announced major updates to Zoho Workplace-a single software platform that brings together collaboration, productivity, and communications tools and integrates them into other business processes.

Centered around a full-featured business mail and cloud office suite, 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.

According to a recent joint study by Zoho and Beagle Research, "54% of enterprise-level employees (businesses with over 500 employees) found the applications they work with not intuitive and difficult to integrate." Additionally, "40% of the largest enterprise employees’ surveyed (businesses with over 4,000 employees) said their work can be chaotic, working with multiple technology platforms to do their job accordingly." The study shows that businesses want unified solutions that streamline complex processes like data migration, content creation, contextual collaboration and communication, and search. Existing solutions lack the comprehension and integration to satisfy this need. As a result, Zoho Workplace has seen rapid adoption in the last quarter, now supporting 2 million organizations, with 15 million users located across 150+ countries. More than 25% of new Zoho Workplace customers have made the decision to switch over from G Suite and Microsoft.

Zoho Workplace and Cliq recently won the best app in the "Office" category in AtmanirbharBharat App Innovation challenge conducted by the government of India. Not only is Zoho Workplace developed in India, but it also adheres to Zoho's strict privacy and security practices, and stores the data of its Indian users in the company's Indian data centres.

"The nature of work has undeniably changed, and Workplace has grown to meet that change," said Sridhar Vembu, Zoho's CEO and Co-founder. "Businesses are not looking to solve a collaboration problem, they are looking to solve a custom invoicing problem or sales enablement problem or support problem. Collaboration platforms need to facilitate better business outcomes, not just improve productivity. 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."

Pricing starts at ₹99/user/month for the Standard version and ₹399/user/month for the Professional version.
