Today we'll be looking into the uber-online office suite, Zoho.
What would the office of the future be like? Perhaps something that can assist you to do your work where ever it may be? Now with Internet access everywhere, the conventional meaning of work by sitting only at office (or in one place) is changing. This major shift in lifestyle is helpfully being facilitated by a fresh approach in tools that enable one to get their job done anywhere.
Meet Zoho -- The Office 2.0... or perhaps a cliched, but appropriate denotation -- "The Office of tomorrow, today".
Zoho, a play on words SOHO (Small Office Home Office) is an initiative of AdventNet, who are majorly into enterprise IT, networking and telecom customers; Zoho is one of them.
Zoho Writer is part of a bigger schema of things; it comes under the Zoho Virtual Office banner which includes Zoho Sheet and Zoho Show. Zoho also offers other Web-based productivity tools such as Zoho Planner -- an online organizer with to-do lists, reminders and notes, Zoho Notebook-online note taker, Zoho Wiki, Zoho Chat, Zoho Mail, Zoho CRM, Zoho Creator -- for developing business and personal Web apps, etc.
Phew! That's a lot of apps under one banner!
We've spoken much about advantages and disadvantages of online office applications in detail previously, so do have a look at that. We would've loved to review Live-documents -- funded by Sabeer Bhatia (one of the founders of Hotmail) -- which is a direct Office 2007 look-a-like but unfortunately is in private beta as of now. But we'll definitely nail it next time whenever we procure an invite. If any of you have one, do drop in a mail.
Thanks for the nice review on Zoho, Nikhil!
Believe you read about the launch of Zoho Show. I would like you to give an early invite. Do mail me if you are interested.
