ZOHO Office – The Next Great Internet Office Suite

I personally love the new Microsoft Office 2007 applications, but I don’t always have access to my documents because of security issues that customers have with contractors connecting their laptops to their networks. I also have several blogs that I post to and if I am not using Word 2007, I end up coping and pasting between each of the blogs. And I have several private customers who just can’t afford to purchase the latest Microsoft Office applications. But the folks over at Zoho have provided use with a great set of tools. You can access this awesome set of tools over at Zoho Office Suite. The current toolset consists of …

• Zoho Writer – An intuitive online word processor.
• Zoho Sheet – A very powerful spreadsheet application.
• Zoho Show – An online presentation application.
• Zoho Wiki – Your own personal online Wiki.
• Zoho Notebook – Allows sharing content with others. My opinion is that this will be the best, most used part of this suite once they release it.
• Zoho Virtual Office – Online collaboration suite.

In addition to the awesome suite of office tools, they also offer a range of productivity tools. They consist of…

• Zoho Project – Project Management.
• Zoho CRM – A very powerful, very affordable CRM system. I will be recommending this to all my customers.
• Zoho Creator – Online database creation application. Nothing but WOW can express my feelings. This is absolutely awesome.
• Zoho Planner – Very nice online planner.
• Zoho Chat – Chat application. This will be nice for businesses for real time communications internally.

They also offer a few other services at this time which are of great benefit.
