12 Dec Zoho.com is Genius

I’ve studied India’s entrepreneurial spirit for years now, off and on.  It INSPIRES me to learn and understand how some of the ideas are manifested into great business models.  What I’ve learned is that for the most part, there is a BIG concentration on creating Usable and Functional web sites and applications.

Having outsourced some work to a group in Bangalore in the past, I am always extremely elated to find out what they are working on.  Their insight and cutting edge application of strategies is sometimes mind-boggling.  Why?  They are HUNGRY and they know how to band together to make their resources work for them.  This group in Bangalore… if they don’t have the resources, time, or money, I can be guaranteed that they can share the requirements and get a job done.  Period.

Lastly, even in times when I came up with the diamond studded blinging idea, they are always inspirational in saying  “… but Johnson, what is the business model?”

I am thoroughly impressed with ZOHO.com’s suite of products.  I’ve recently started using the BOOKS component for my website accounting and it is a wonderful tool.  Honestly, I am absolutely torn between Freshbooks and Zoho, and in using both, am still trying to figure out who I’ll stick with in 2012.

Zoho.com, has some strong guys in its management profile… and again, the ease of use and functional approach to a working website has been a phenomenal asset to my end of year Profit and Loss calculations.

Try it for yourself, and report back to me.
