Company "Built to Last" Prepares for the Next Phase, Focus on Cloud along with Mobile, App Integration, and User Experience

Helping people work online, Zoho today announced the 15th anniversary of ZOHO Corp. End Quote

San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) September 02, 2011 - The announcement marks the success of the long-term vision and culture that underpin ZOHO Corp., helping to create a company that was built to last. As the company prepares for its next 15 years, it is focusing on expanding various aspects including mobile focus and application integration as well as improving the overall user experience of its applications.

"We are deeply grateful to our customers, partners, employees and the rest of the ZOHO ecosystem for helping us reach our 15-year anniversary," said Sridhar Vembu, CEO of ZOHO Corp. "Our success can also be attributed to our long-term approach to business. As a company founder, I have no interest in exit or liquidity. I'm in business to run a business, not to run away from it. As a result, ZOHO Corp. has survived several economic bubbles and busts, consistently turning a profit, adding new users and emerging as a market leader-something we intend to do for several years ahead."

ZOHO Corp. Past, Present and Future

ZOHO Corp. launched in 1996 as Advent Network Management, Inc., later reinventing itself to become AdventNet, Inc., and now, ZOHO Corp. Today, ZOHO Corp. has three divisions:

ManageEngine, the middle division, has over 50,000 customers. And the company's youngest division, Zoho, has close to five million users. All three divisions continue to enjoy success, in terms of user adoption and satisfaction as well as bottom line profitability.

As ZOHO Corp. prepares for its next 15 years, the company is focusing much of its development efforts on the cloud. In addition to the online suite offered by Zoho, a growing number of ManageEngine on-premises offerings will be available as hosted, on-demand applications. Similarly, ZOHO Corp. will be focused on:
