I’m not as invested as folk like Zoli are in Zoho, largely because I found alternatives to Zoho offerings that just ‘felt’ better. The classic case of good enough software to which one becomes accustomed. Last weekend, Zoho announced single-sign on. That got my attention because one of the big bugbears with on-demand applications is the need to sign onto each service.
The beauty with Zoho is that collaboration comes as standard. Enter an email in the document etc and the recipient gains access. What is less clear is whether single sign-on allows collaboration between people working on unshared but related applications. So in other words, If I’ve got a document that has embedded data from a spreadsheet, would a shared user on the document benefit from single sign on so they to could work on the underlying spreadsheet? I don’t know the answer to that but I’m sure the good folk at Zoho will let us know.
