In October, we launched Zoho Sprints, our agile project management offering. Using the SCRUM framework, Sprints combines backlogs, agile reports and collaboration tools to help software developers and teams follow agile methods. It always feels great to achieve a goal.
But 20 million is more than just a milestone. That calls for a celebration! In November, we released Zoho Desk, the industry's first context aware help-desk software. Zoho Desk helps agents have a better picture of a customer's problems, and efficiently organizes tickets so that agents can answer them faster.

With a comprehensive suite of products tailored for every business need, the next step was to give software developers an opportunity to build and sell extensions for Zoho products—through Zoho.
Enter Zoho Developer in August We reached a 15 million user landmark, a significant achievement for us at that time. We knew we were doing something right.

As Zoho expanded the capacity of its data centers and its developers began building more online software beyond its first application Zoho Writer, a word processor , the vendor gained more interest from small and medium sized businesses SMBs , such as law firms and doctors offices who were looking for minimal IT costs, says Raju Vegesna, the company's chief evangelist.
They have also received business from non-profits and the public sector, such as Teachers Without Borders and the Hawaii State Government. More recently, they have begun seeing interest from large enterprises, particularly on the departmental level, where they have taken advantage of some of the collaborative functions such as document sharing and wikis and the addition of CRM software.
Swisscom, a telecom company in Europe, recently began piloting the software , and Vembu says he has received interest from large enterprises in the United States as well. Many parts of Zoho's offering are free for up to a few users.
Unlike Google Apps, their experience is not subsidized by ads. Vembu hopes that these users will communicate with the Zoho development group over the Zoho blog and give feedback about the software, then hopefully tell friends. Zoho faces two challenges in cracking the software market. First, they must compete with the incumbent giant Microsoft over time by making Zoho applications just as functionally rich but available more cheaply on the Web.
Secondly, Zoho must overcome the popularity of Google, which not only has spent lots of money making inroads with SMBs and large enterprises, but also has enticed a generation of future users with services such as Gmail , the email service that gives users free access to the consumer version of Google Apps. Given this competitive landscape, it might seem counterintuitive that Zoho didn't decide to focus on one or two core applications, perfect them and see if other giants in the market take notice.
But Vembu seems to be in this for the long haul: he says the diversification of the Zoho portfolio not only brings more value to his users, but it also will allow the company to remain independent.
Despite that diversification, it drew acquisition interest from Salesforce. Vembu says that Salesforce. It's hard to know what the price tag for the company would have been. Since Zoho remains privately owned, they don't specify how much money they make. Human Resources Focus on your people while our apps automate your human resources processes.
