Zoho launches latest content collaboration platform for organizations

After reaching 50 million users worldwide, Zoho Corp., a privately held company that offers a comprehensive suite of business software applications in the industry, rebuild its content collaboration platform, WorkDrive, from the ground up, optimizing it for teams and businesses.

WorkDrive now provides the underlying document management across all Zoho business applications, allowing for unified search, single storage, contextual integration, as well as many other vertically integrated capabilities.

Businesses seek to go beyond storage today and need enterprise-grade solutions in areas like multi-level security, compliance, and audit control. The unit of work is no longer the individual, but the team. Sharing and collaboration must be implicit in workflows and business processes, rather than be patched onto solutions that originated as consumer and single-person models.
