The company explained this growth is driven by businesses adjusting to full-time remote working and learning as well as high demand from businesses seeking contextual integration between critical business applications. More than 25 percent of new Zoho Workplace customers have made the decision to switch over from G Suite and Microsoft.
Additional applications within the platform include: Zoho Mail, Zoho Connect, and Zoho Office Suite. Zoho Workplace enables single sign-on across these applications where work streams follow users as they move from screen to screen. This convergence of business, communication, productivity, and collaboration applications allows users to work in context within teams effectively, across their organisation or with external stakeholders.
Sridhar Iyengar, Managing Director, Zoho Europe, commented: “Zoho Workplace users benefit hugely from all of its applications being on one platform. Not only is the integration issue automatically resolved, but huge efficiency and productivity gains can be made. Zoho’s privacy by design framework ensures all our applications and processes meet the highest standards of data privacy needed by global enterprises.”
