Web office goes to corporate level

A number of interesting presentations from companies that develop online office suites took place at the Office 2.0 conference yesterday. For example, one of the leading developers in this area Zoho announced the creation of a corporate paid version of the office suite Zoho Business Edition. This is clear evidence that the web office has become a serious commercial alternative for old office software such as Microsoft Office.

The commercial version of Zoho Business Edition will be sold from October 2007, the cost of the license is $ 40 per year per user. For this money, corporate clients will receive additional functionality, including the system of user administration, domain management and backup data storage, as well as telephone technical support.

Private users will be able to continue using the free Zoho Personal package, but some programs, including Zoho CRM, will be transferred to the corporate version, and the rest will be limited in functionality. For example, a Zoho Meeting meeting manager will be able to hold a maximum of five meetings per month.
