Zoho Alliance Partner Program Grows as Channel Strategy Evolves

Posted on February 16, 2009 by Ian Wenig

From the start Zoho had the vision of creating a world class channel and
partner program to address the large SMB market that we are focused on. The
Zoho Alliance Partner Program or ZAPP, now about 18 months old has been quietly and
steadily growing, adding new resellers from around the world, adding capability
to the API program as well as working on some big partner deals which will be
announced over time. I am very pleased with the progress being made,
particularly because we are forging new ground in the SaaS arena, creating what
I believe to be a unique ecosystem with some advanced features that no one else
is offering. This post outlines some of the highlights about ZAPP and where we
are heading

ZAPP has 4 main components which I will address briefly:

1. Resellers

Our reseller partners are regionally-based, scattered across the globe and provide a range of services.…

Swisscom Selects Zoho

Posted on July 15, 2008 by Ian Wenig

We are delighted that Swisscom (incumbent telco in Switzerland) has chosen Zoho for a six month pilot for its Zoho Business Suite which is now available on their Software-as-a-Service portal Teamnet.

Zoho and Swisscom have teamed up to create a custom version of Zoho Business, with Zoho Writer, Sheet, Show, Notebook and Meeting now available to its 300,000 business customers. Even though Swisscom is the incumbent telco operator in Switzerland, it is taking a bold approach by extending its offerings to the SaaS space.

Increasingly, Service Providers are looking to add value on their existing networks and have started to include online applications like Zoho to their portfolio of services. In the past, one would not turn to the telephone company for productivity applications, but this is changing with the wider adoption of SaaS in the marketplace.

RunMyProcess Integrates with Zoho

Posted on May 13, 2008 by Ian Wenig

Last week, we announced Huddle-Zoho Integration. Now, Business Process Management (BPM) software maker, RunMyProcess has become our latest API partner.

According to their CEO : “RunMyProcess is the glue needed by enterprise IT when extending to the web: deploying a web based CRM is a matter of days, but leaving it unconnected from the rest of IT is a matter of serious operational risk. The risk of unconnected web solutions can be avoided in a few ways: spreadsheets, accounting or CRM solutions can be linked to daily exchange rates, parcel delivery follow-up or customer scoring services, all of them mixed with human tasks for critical, non automated steps.”

Here’s a brief demo of how integration with Zoho helps RunMyProcess connect the dots. This is another great example of an API partner integration as well as the expansion of an ecosystem, with Zoho Creator as the catalyst for easy workflow and functionality.

Leading online college partners with Zoho

Posted on February 28, 2008 by Ian Wenig

Zoho is extremely pleased to announce our newest API integration partner; National Paralegal College.

The college is one of the leading providers of online paralegal education nationwide. NPC has pioneered the use of interactive web-conferencing in a classroom setting giving students the benefit of a traditional classroom experience over the internet. At NPC, students earn a paralegal Certificate or Associate degree entirely online.

Avi Katz, NPC President writes: “In keeping with its spirit of instructor-student interactivity, NPC has become an integration partner with ZOHO for the use of ZOHO Writer and Sheet in student submissions of assignments and homework. Instructors can easily share student submitted documents and make comments and corrections directly on the student’s submissions. This has lead to the furthering of interactivity between instructors and students in an Internet-based environment rivaling that of a traditional classroom setting.”

The integration with Zoho:

All assignments and student submissions are composed and viewed using the Zoho remote API.

G.ho.st plans on expanding its offerings in the near future making its virtual desktop a browser-based alternative to MS Windows – and Zoho’s collaboration and sharing functionality makes it a great fit.
