Zoho Workplace, a platform that boasts nine integrated collaboration, communication, and productivity applications, experiences unprecedented adoption from customers replacing Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and G Suite.
Zoho Corporation, a global technology company offering the most comprehensive suite of business software applications in the industry, today revealed that some of the services on its enterprise collaboration platform, Zoho Workplace, have seen a usage increase of over 1,000 percent – the platform now supports 15 million users globally.
Zoho Workplace provides a unified platform including email, chat, audio and video conferencing, shared file storage, and an online office suite that enhances the productivity of employees, anywhere. It is an online workspace that allows users to intuitively and securely work together, meet, collaborate, and accomplish goals in a contextual setting.
High growth seen in apps within Zoho Workplace since March includes:
- Zoho Cliq, the secure instant messaging service with audio and video call capabilities experienced a 1,200 percent increase in calls made per day and a 225 percent increase in messages sent.
- Zoho Meeting, the online meeting, and conferencing application saw a 772 percent usage increase.
- Zoho ShowTime, online training, and virtual classroom solution have seen usage surge 1,100 percent.
- Zoho WorkDrive, a cloud storage service for the entire organization with the ability to share files securely, saw usage increase by 300 percent.
The company explained this growth is partly 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: Custom domain-based, a secure business email with Calendar, Tasks, Notes, and Bookmarks.
- Zoho Connect: Intranet for organization and organization-specific social-media platform for employees.
- Zoho Office Suite: Online office suite with enhanced co-creating, reviewing, and collaboration features. The suite includes Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, and Zoho Show.
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 organization or with external stakeholders. Zia, Zoho’s AI-powered assistant, and Zia Search boost user productivity as AI and search work across all 9 apps on the platform. Instead of having to extract data across multiple solutions, users can complete projects, from start to finish, all on Zoho.
