Zoho Workplace Reimagines Work by Bringing Business Context and Continuity Across Apps, Devices, and Modes of WorkZoho Corporation, a global technology company offering the most extensive suite of business software applications in the industry, today announced 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 (News - Alert) 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.

Thus, they are unable to establish critical context for business problems, and fail to provide continuity over the course of their resolution. 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. People work better and more effectively than they ever have. "The nature of work has undeniably changed, and Workplace has grown to meet that change," said Vijay Sundaram, Zoho's Chief Strategy Officer. "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." According to a recent joint study by Zoho and Beagle Research, "54 percent of enterprise-level employees (businesses with more than 500 employees) found the applications they work with not intuitive and difficult to integrate." Additionally, "40 percent of the largest enterprise employees surveyed (businesses with more than 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 business 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 more than 150 countries. More than 25 percent of new Zoho Workplace customers have made the decision to switch over from G Suite and Microsoft (News - Alert). "The necessity of a digital workplace designed for how people work is essential for not just productivity but effectiveness and experience in how work is completed," said Mark mith, CEO and Chief Research Officer at Ventana Research. "Zoho Workplace brings simplicity and sophistication to communication and collaboration, all in a single suite not found anywhere else in the industry." "Thanks to Zoho and the Workplace tools, we have been able to close 12 percent more business, as well as grow services with our largest client exponentially going into the new fiscal quarter and beyond," said Marc Fishman, Director of Sales and Marketing for ONE Business Solutions. "Suffice it to say, the collaboration tools streamlined communication for our entire team, which includes senior team leads operating remotely. This has been crucial to our recent success in navigating the forever shifting and chaotic B2B space."
