The leading global technology company, Zoho Corporation, has introduced five new apps designed to help businesses achieve seamless growth by increasing their productivity through cutting edge innovations.
A statement issued by the organisation on Wednesday said its Zoho One, which is the operating system for business, is now embedded with the five new apps, three new services and seven major platform enhancements.
With these additions, businesses now have the capability to solve disjointed data challenges and close communications gaps across silos in order to be more productive, adapt more quickly to remote and hybrid work models, and become poised for growth.
Since its release in 2017, over 40,000 organizations have chosen Zoho One as their operating system. In 2021, the platform witnessed a 60 per cent year-on-year customer growth with the average number of apps used by businesses rising to 21. It is the top-selling product for Zoho in Nigeria.
“The experience that employees, customers, partners, and suppliers get when dealing with businesses is typically a reflection of how that business and its systems are structured internally.
“Today, the majority of systems are disconnected as a result of siloed solutions offered by vendors,” the President MEA, Zoho Corp, Mr Hyther Nizam, stated.
“Unification of a business requires the unification of the underlying systems, which can then provide a truly unified experience, internally and externally, along with unified insights.
“Zoho One was created with this vision and keeps expanding its unbeatable value with new additions and improvements year over year,” Mr Nizam added.
Business Post gathered that the new apps in Zoho One include the Zoho Learn for interactive training programmes and assessments with Zoho’s course builder; Zoho Lens to facilitate better communication and collaboration in a remote-work environment; TeamInbox to eliminate task duplication and streamline email conversations in one central location; Zoho DataPrep to assist companies integrate, model, cleanse, transform, enrich, and catalogue data; and the Zoho Commerce, which allows retailers to easily build online shops with the tools needed to construct a website, accept orders, track inventory, process payments, manage shipping, market their brand, and analyse data.
The major enhancements are embedded and conversational BI; enterprise search; unified console, dashboards, and smart-stack UI; customizable dashboard with pre-built widgets; and integration with telephony providers.
The three new services included in Zoho One are work graph; organisation dictionary; and Mobile Application Management (MAM), which enables admins to easily add and manage all of their users’ devices for better insight and control of provisioning, specific app permissions and policies, locking and wiping devices remotely, and more, to support employee mobility and flexibility.
