Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, has unveiled its unified communications platform, Trident, and strengthened collaboration technologies to offer businesses easier ways to communicate across channels, reduce tool ambiguity, and improve an organization’s overall digital adoption.
Zoho Workplace is a unified office platform that combines collaboration, productivity, and communications tools. It is now a flexible, full-featured business mail and cloud office suite built on a standard data model and unified through search and AI, enabling users to operate collaboratively and seamlessly through applications.
Commenting on the continued innovation, Kehinde Seun Ogundare, Country Head of the corporation in Nigeria, said: “In the past year, Zoho Workplace adoption has accelerated as businesses of all sizes transition to digital-forward, hybrid work. With a clear focus on continued innovation, the corporation is well-positioned to thrive during this time of readjustment.
The goal of Workplace is to enable businesses to unify their work to a point where the line between apps disappears. It is heartening to see so many new businesses join the Zoho family, using Workplace as their customizable center of gravity.”
With 55+ apps in nearly every major business category, Zoho Corporation is one of the world’s most prolific technology companies. The company is privately held and profitable, with over 12,000 employees and headquartered in Chennai, India.
Workplace has grown 30% year-over-year with a rapidly expanding global user base of over 16 million. It continues to revolutionize how teams work together and is among the top five products in Nigeria, with a growth of 106%.
There has been an increase in migrations to Zoho from notable tech companies such as Namecheap. The predominant industries driving this trend are Finance, IT, FinTech, Retail, Non-IT professionals,
The growth is attributed to increasing business demand for simplified, streamlined solutions that maintain the utmost user privacy standards and rising costs from other collaboration platform providers.
Additionally, migrations from Google, Microsoft and GoDaddy to Zoho Workplace almost doubled in 2022 globally.
The company continues enhancing its workplace products with new features to improve collaboration, productivity, and communication. The company has introduced Zoho Trident, its first native desktop app that unifies mail, messages, audio/video calls, calendars, tasks, and more in one place.
Furthermore, Zoho Voice is now fully integrated within Cliq and Meeting, allowing employees to make direct line calls, send SMS messages, and pick up inbound calls across the apps.
In addition, Zoho Webinar within Zoho Meeting enables businesses to broadcast to thousands of attendees, engage with them using polls and Q&As, and present virtually without sharing their screen. The company has also introduced BluePencil, an AI-based grammar tool with a text editor that can be used on any third-party webpage.
The Universal Drag and Drop functionality saves time by letting users move files between products with a simple drag-and-drop. With a focus on security, Mobile Device Management capabilities and OTP-restricted emails have been added to its workplace suite. Lastly, TrueSync has been added to Workdrive, removing hard drive storage limits and allowing users to access and make changes to their files locally and in the cloud.
“The new Workplace announcements show a deep commitment to creating choice in the digital productivity sector with a broad, integrated suite that continues to innovate,” said Dion Hinchcliffe, VP and Principal Analyst of Constellation Research, adding, “the improvements to unified communications, the addition of high-performance native functionality, improved security, and the addition of new AI capabilities keep Workplace in the uppermost echelon of productivity suites in my analysis.
Workplace with its newest applications Trident, Webinar within Zoho Meetings and Phone systems within Zoho Cliq and Zoho Meetings is helping users do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.”
