Zoho Corporation, a global, privately held company that offers the most comprehensive suite of business software applications in the industry, recently announced another historic milestone for the company: 50 million business users. This news comes at a time when Zoho is growing considerably. The company now has 10 data centers around the globe, which support more than 45 different applications that help businesses located in more than 180 countries.

With the recent launch of Catalyst, a secure, high-performing serverless platform, Zoho continues to be a major player in the developer space as well, offering no-code, low-code, and pro-code applications. As more and more people around the world turn to Zoho for their business needs, the company is redoubling its efforts to provide the best, most unified platform, services, and applications in the industry. With this in mind, Zoho has rearchitected its content collaboration platform from the ground up, optimizing it for teams and businesses.

"WorkDrive now provides the underlying document management across all Zoho business applications, allowing for unified search, single storage, contextual integration, as well as many other vertically integrated capabilities," according to the company. "Businesses seek to go beyond storage today and need enterprise-grade solutions in areas like multi-level security, compliance, and audit control. The unit of work is no longer the individual, but the team. Sharing and collaboration must be implicit in workflows and business processes, rather than be patched onto solutions that originated as consumer and single-person models." WorkDrive is integrated into the platform, services, and applications layers of the Zoho technology stack and incorporates capabilities like virus detection, encryption, image processing, and other AI tools in the proper business context.

"A content collaboration platform must understand the context of the documents it stores," says Vijay Sundaram, Zoho's Chief Strategy Officer. "A proposal may turn into a sales contract and then into a service level agreement. In this case, the customer engagement went from prospecting to sales to service management. By understanding the connections between these documents - hence their underlying context - a content collaboration platform can connect and engage the relevant people. WorkDrive creates a common, unified file system across all business processes, so the business context is easier to understand and preserve, making the system significantly more valuable to the customer. This unique type of a solution can only come from a vendor who also offers the business applications."

Zoho has also announced its revamped Workplace suite of productivity applications, which includes Cliq, Notebook, Connect, Writer, Sheet, Show, Showtime, Mail, Meeting, and WorkDrive. Among other new capabilities, Workplace now features an integrated app dashboard that houses customizable widgets that display information from each of the nine apps included in the suite.

The local Zoho office hosts many events and activities, including Toastmasters, athletic team celebrations, and coding clubs as well as supporting several local charities. In addition to its Hacienda office, the company has its US headquarters in Austin, Texas, as well as offices in China, India, Japan, and Singapore.
