Solutions to Create Intelligent 'Mashup' Applications for Knowledge
Workers
AdventNet Inc. creators of ZOHO(TM) and Web Demo (Nasdaq: WEBX - News),
the leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications
for collaborative business on the web, today announced that Zoho's
web-based CRM and office productivity tools will be available via
the new Web Demo Connect application grid. Zoho CRM is a complete relationship
lifecycle management solution delivered as a service, while Zoho
Writer, Sheet and Show each provide full-featured "office in
a browser" functionality.
Zoho CRM combines the best of sales and marketing features at a
fraction of the cost of alternatives. By integrating sales force
automation with lead generation and campaign management combined
with help desk, customer service and order tracking, small and medium-sized
businesses can manage the entire customer lifecycle from any browser
without the hassle and cost of traditional premise-based software
applications. With the new Web Demo Connect integration, Zoho CRM users
can now instantly schedule or launch Web Demo meetings directly from
Zoho CRM.
Zoho Writer, Sheet and Show individually deliver web-based full-featured
document, spreadsheet and presentation creation with the added dimensions
of online collaboration and all the benefits of the latest Web 2.0
technologies such as AJAX. These include: instant document publishing
and sharing; embedding other data sources such as video feeds into
documents and productivity enhancing rolldown/rollover menus.
"Integration with Web Demo provides our joint customers with
a seamless solution for online collaboration. Web Demo Connect is a
great vehicle for simplifying the whole business of launching and
managing the key applications to run your business" said Sridhar
Vembu, CEO.
Zoho's web-based CRM and office productivity tools are some of
the many applications users will be able to access through their
personal Web Demo Connect workspace and the Web Demo Connect grid of partner
applications. Web Demo Connect is the first application platform specifically
designed for on-demand collaboration and third party application
integration. A unique composite collaboration and application platform,
Web Demo Connect will allow users to integrate data from multiple applications
and create a collaborative workspace custom designed for their particular
workflow and business process. By leveraging open Web 2.0 protocols
and collaborative Web Demo connector APIs, Web Demo Connect will make
it easy for developers to adapt on-demand, desktop and enterprise
applications to the platform or create new composite applications.
"Zoho CRM and Zoho's office tools are an excellent addition
to Web Demo Connect and we are delighted that Zoho has joined Web Demo
Connect grid," said Subrah Iyar, chairman and CEO, Web Demo.
