Zoho Connect
From ideas to execution, Zoho Connect is your organization's private social network that redefines the way your employees and teams share information and collaborate with each other.
Imagine, if you will, two strange and somewhat eccentric creatures, both birthed from the fertile imagination of Zoho Corporation, though each sporting a distinctly different personality. The first is Zoho Cliq, a hyperactive little fellow, forever bounding from chat channels to direct messages, waving flags of notifications and generally insisting that everyone stay in constant, unfaltering communication at all times. It speaks in a jumble of emojis, text, audio and video and has a fondness for sharing its screen, as if to say, “Look at what *I* can do!” It prides itself on making sure no conversation, task, or virtual post-it note is ever out of sight. It also has a surprising ability to juggle a lot at once, integrating smoothly with Zoho’s vast family of applications as well as a host of third-party tools, all while grinning cheerfully and assuring you it’s here to boost productivity and workflow—assuming you can keep up with its breathless pace.

On the other side of the office (in a far more relaxed and leisurely manner), we find Zoho Connect, lounging comfortably on a metaphorical bean bag chair. It’s less concerned with the hustle and bustle of real-time messaging and more interested in creating a cozy, communal space where ideas can percolate and relationships can grow. If Zoho Cliq is the ever-vigilant team coordinator, Zoho Connect is the friendly neighborhood gathering spot—offering a digital campfire where teams can share thoughts through forums, blogs and social networks, without the pesky urgency of *right now*. It prefers fostering a sense of belonging, a place where knowledge can be passed around like a good story and everyone from the HR department to IT can get together for a virtual chat over coffee. Oh and it, too, has connections (pun absolutely intended) to Zoho’s other tools, but it’s much more casual about it—no rush, no pressure.
