We’ve continuously been working on adding more enhancements to Zoho applications in

Google Apps marketplace
. Just last week we announced “Zoho CRM Contacts/Calendar sync with Google Apps” and got great feedback. Today, we’re very excited to announce Google Tasks integration with two of our top products in Google Apps marketplace,

Zoho CRM
and

Zoho Projects
.

This integration provides a unified platform for tracking all your tasks in one place. Usually, users tend to maintain sales related tasks in CRM application, projects related tasks in project management app and personal tasks in another application. The confusion arising out of such multiple platforms can now be avoided with this integration.

Here’s a quick run through on the technical details of the integration:



For most of us, emails are an integral part of our day-to-day activities.

Employees are considered the most valuable assets of an organization. The ability to deploy employees effectively against projects enables organizations to utilize and maximize employee productivity. For this, project managers need an efficient system to place the appropriate employees in the right teams at the right time.

Project managers often face questions like how the work to be performed by a team is to be captured, who estimates the amount of effort required, where this information is to be stored and reviewed for accuracy etc. There are no magic shortcuts. You need the right tool that can capture and show the resources utilized within or across all projects of your organization.

The latest update of Zoho Projects offers this crucial feature called Resource Utilization chart, that accurately captures all of the above in a single place.…

Just last Friday we announced sync between Zoho CRM’s Contacts and Calendar with Google Apps.

Many of our Zoho for Google Apps customers had been asking us for this functionality, so we knew it was going to be well received.  However, we disappointed many happy customers when we included this only in our Enterprise edition.

Lots of people commented about this in our blogs, forums and directly to us on email. They were disappointed we didn’t include it on the Professional edition of CRM. 

Google Apps customers expect our integrations to work seamlessly. And we want to have the best and most used CRM in the Google Apps Marketplace. So today we’re enabling this functionality to both Enterprise and Professional customers. If you are a Zoho CRM for Google Apps customer and have the Professional Edition, you should be able to see this functionality in just a couple hours at the most.…

So today we’re happy to cross one big item of our list with our very first Android app for Zoho Invoice.
