Zoho Workplace, the cloud-based email and collaboration platform from Zoho Corporation, has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with Ingram Micro to strengthen its presence and reach in key Middle Eastern and African countries.
This new collaboration will combine Zoho's powerful suite with Ingram Micro's market reach, a diverse solutions portfolio, as well as XaaS solutions leveraging investments in technical, financial, and marketing resources.
Zoho is hopeful this collaboration will further boost cloud workplace adoption in Egypt, Qatar, Oman, Morocco, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
A Unified Productivity System
What makes Zoho Workplace stand out is its approach to employee productivity. A single pane of glass brings together the latest emails, tagged messages, recent files, company announcements, upcoming meetings, tasks, and more into one space.
Zoho's approach to Workplace productivity is to have these apps share context, data, and spaces with each other so that users don't have to constantly switch between tabs and windows to get work done.
The Zoho Workplace suite includes enterprise-grade Email, File Management, Business Communication, Web Conferencing, Office Suite, advanced security controls, and Social Intranet.
Growing Recognition of Zoho's Value Proposition
Speaking about the partnership, Hyther Nizam, President of the Middle East and Africa at Zoho, commented, "This alliance reinforces Zoho's commitment to serving local businesses, in line with its transnational localism strategy, wherein Zoho's expansion is locally rooted while staying globally connected."
While this partnership will initially bring Zoho's collaboration platform, Zoho Workplace, and its small business CRM, Bigin, Zoho also has a wide portfolio of products, including customer relationship management, sales and marketing, finance, human resources, and more. Zoho Corporation is headquartered in Chennai, India, with regional offices in Dubai, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and others.
Zoho recently crossed the 100 million user milestone globally and has already grown 10x in the MENA region in the last 5 years.
