2009 : An exciting journey for Zoho Projects

It has been an exciting year that passed by which marked the release of Zoho Projects 2.0.

During the first two quarters we rolled out few enhancements, bug fixes and worked to make Projects 2.0 a feature-rich app packed with an easy-to-use interface. The new release was spiced up with few teasers to gear up the momentum. It was an instant hit and well received with an overwhelming response from our users.

2009 has given a lot of value for our product. We got some good feedback about how the product helped customers expand their business even in midst of an economic slump. Zoho Projects 2.0 release was aimed towards getting things done (GTD) faster so you spend quality time at work which adds more value for a work-life balance.

Apart from the major 2.0 release we also added features like Collaborate via Email, Task Details Page, Developer API for Projects. Integrating various Google based applications has been a trend at Zoho and we too followed this by integrating Zoho Projects for Google Apps.

This integration helped Google users to extend project management and collaboration capabilities of Zoho Projects within Google Apps which got a good coverage by web2.0 media blogs like TechCrunch, LifeHacker, WebWorkerDaily.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who have made it possible for us to reach where we are now and hope this trend continues even beyond 2010.

Here at Zoho Projects, we work towards simplifying your teamwork, run projects like a charm and collaborate with a geographically separated team with ease.
