Zoho the next big thing....it's counting and keeps counting

Let me state the visible trends which I saw….

From single Desktop application to multiple users, then using the application over the intranet where n number of user can user it. Slowly we started using Server based applications where n x n users can used the application. With penetration of internet the reach became more where n x n x n and keeps counting.

Changes happen with the trend. soon we will be carrying our operation system in a pen drive and just connect it to a computer and use this as our primary operating system and use internet as the medium for all our desktop applications.

Zoho offer a whole bundle for us…some services are free as of now and soon they will be charged. Sridhar Vembu is the CEO of AdventNet, which owns Zoho, a new on-demand office suite we’ve been hearing about a lot lately
