Zoho: 1 Million Users

Raju Vegesna  August 6, 2008 08: 45 am    

Its been less than 3 years since we launched our first Zoho service (Zoho Writer) and we are excited to announce that @ Zoho, we now are serving Million+ Users. This is an important milestone for us and on this occasion we’d like to thank all our users for supporting and using Zoho.

The path to this milestone is certainly exciting. While we started slow, we picked up momentum adding more applications as we moved along and the applications improved week after week, thanks to our engineering team.

It took us 1 Year to get to the first 100K users. As of last July we were serving 300K users and one year later on Aug 1, when Dean Detton from Prestige Home Automation registered for Zoho CRM, he became our Millionth user.

For those of you who are coming to the Office 2.0 Conference, we are planning a party on Sep 4th in San Francisco (we’ll provide more details on this soon) to celebrate this occasion.

Once again, we’d like to thank you all for using Zoho.

    Congrats Zoho! I’ll be in school during your upcoming party, but wanted to let you know that I love your products and have been using them for a few years now. They are almost always a few steps ahead of any office 2.0 solution out there…

    Thanks for the incredible stuff. I’m looking forward to what’s to come.

    Btw, why aren’t ZOHO sites OpenID enabled when you have Yahoo and Google?

    Congrats guys! Way to go

    Thanks @Alan, @Alagu

    We are looking into OpenID. We implemented Yahoo! & Google because this covers a broader user base than OpenID. Also, OpenID is still techie. But we are certainly are looking into it.

    Congrats!

    I’m sure your base further if you take sufficient precautions. I can no longer use ZohoPlaqnner because at work WebSense blocks it as “Social Networking”. You could probably work this out with WebSense.

    Good work!

    Regards!

    [...] Google Docs není jediný webově orientovaný kancelářský balík. Existují i jiné a sofistikovanější. Jedním takovým je sada webových aplikací Zoho zahrnující textový editor, tabulkový kalkulátor, prezentační nástroj, e-mailové služby, publikační systém na bázi wiki, poznámkový blok, diář, chat a řadu dalších nástrojů.
