Morgan BellPut your business office online with Zoho for free
July 19th 2008 15:11
Zoho is a free web-based office suite similar to Microsoft Office which can store business documents online so you can access them remotely and share them online.
Visitors to Zoho.com can log in using their Google or Yahoo e-mail addresses, making it unnecessary for users to go through a lengthy registration process.
Zoho is part of a new trend in business called "cloud computing" which is becoming increasingly competitive with office software that requires installation.
The Zoho system costs a lot less to maintain and keep up than a traditional software system, which has allowed the creators to pass on the savings to the consumer and offer the package for free.
Zoho’s name began as Soho, which would have stood for “Small office, Home office.” But Zoho was chosen because it sounded “cooler version”.
With "cloud computing" businesses no longer have to purchase office software or maintain it or install it on their desktops. It is all available on the internet for no cost.
Zoho has a plugin to integrate itself into Microsoft Word and Excel, and a browser plugin that can open text documents or spreadsheets without having word processing or spreadsheet applications installed. It has also created a desktop widget that allows users to run Zoho products on their desktops in a similar way to traditional office programs.
The Zoho Office Suite includes tools for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, note-taking, wikis, CRM, project management, invoicing and other applications. Being web-native, all Zoho applications are operating system independent.
