When Zoho announced Contracts 2.0 as "essential for all businesses," my first reaction was skepticism.

A 10-person consulting firm and a 10,000-employee manufacturer have completely different contract needs. Universal claims usually mean vendors don't understand business diversity or they're overselling.

But here's what I discovered after digging deeper.

Once Again I thought I knew every Zoho app in existence. Then I stumbled across LinkThread, and realised (again and again) how wrong I was. Every day I discover new functionality across the platform I wasn't aware of. Their teams really do build at pace. But this discovery felt different. This wasn't about finding another feature. This was about solving a problem I didn't realise was costing me time and every single day.

You have got your Active Directory plan all wrong !

Think migrating from Active Directory means moving user accounts from one system to another. Export users, import users, done?

But Active Directory isn't just a user database. It's the backbone of your entire authentication and authorisation infrastructure.

When you move to something like Zoho Directory, you're not just migrating data. You're fundamentally changing how your company thinks about identity management.

Zoho Notebook's AI capabilities include several key features designed for practical application. AI Transcription converts meetings and voice notes into structured, searchable notes complete with speaker labels, timestamps, and summaries. This functionality extends to voice recordings captured during any activity, including personal time when ideas naturally emerge.

The AI Mind Maps feature instantly visualizes any note as a mind map to help users understand key ideas and relationships. This visual approach transforms linear notes into interconnected knowledge networks that reveal patterns and connections previously hidden in text format.

A Writing Assistant provides real-time support for rewriting, summarizing, fixing grammar, and changing tone directly within notes. Additional features include voice-based search, smart translation, and intelligent tags that streamline workflow processes.

Discover how to run your entire business from a single platform. Boost efficiency, cut costs, and drive growth with Zoho's integrated suite of apps.

Whether analysing sales patterns, monitoring financial performance, or measuring customer satisfaction, these new integrations enable you to make smarter, data-driven decisions across all business functions

AI makes everything easier until you ask one question: what about our privacy?

Every AI breakthrough demands the same trade-off. More convenience for less control over your data. Most people accept this as inevitable.

Most companies certainly do. They operate under a simple assumption: collect more customer data, generate better growth. The math seems obvious.

But what if that math is completely wrong?

Zoho Flow has launched two highly anticipated integrations that will transform how enterprises manage their SAP systems and data workflows. The new SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA connectors bring enterprise-grade automation capabilities directly to businesses running these critical systems. For organisations relying on SAP systems, integration challenges have long been a significant pain point. These enterprise applications, primarily designed for on-premises deployment, traditionally required complex custom development or cumbersome manual processes to connect with other business tools. The new Zoho Flow integrations eliminate these barriers entirely.

The person sitting three desks away from you, the one who handles your email campaigns and social media strategy, is about to disrupt your entire industry.

You think this is hyperbole. You're wrong*.

Trident combines email, instant messaging, voice and video calling, and business tools into what industry professionals call a "single pane of glass" experience.

You're a talented plumber, mechanic, or artist. Your skills are in demand, and you're ready to go solo.

Then reality hits. Running a business means managing customers, tracking tasks, handling invoices, and learning finance. The alternative? Hiring agencies that cost more than you're making.
