More Mashups

Yesterday, Raju Vegesna (of Zoho fame) asked me whether we'd consider using Zoho Share for sharing all the presentations that will be given during the conference. My answer was: "sure, we'd love to, but only if you support single sign-on with Google Apps." Quite frankly, I was expecting his answer to be either "sorry, we can't do that," or "sure, we'll build it for you." But to my surprise, such an integration is already implemented, as illustrated on this post. That's Zoho magic for you. And if you wonder why a company like Zoho would develop single sign-on with applications developed by their primary competitor, stop wondering: these guys are different, and understand karma better than anyone else. So here we are: we invite all speakers to upload their presentations on Zoho Share once they receive their complimentary office20.com Google Apps account, to be sent later today or tomorrow. I'm loving it... Every bit of it...

Hi Ismael,

 

Thanks for your good words about Zoho. Do share your experience in using Zoho Share. We'd love to hear from you, and feel free to let us know if you require anything else from Zoho Share.

 

Thanks,

D. Sarathy

Why not try hosting office20.com in Zoho Business?

Mani,

 

Because we're trying to use multiple applications from multiple vendors at once, in order to demonstrate interoperability. It's really part of the overall experience. So right now, we're using Clearspace for the front-end, Google Apps for email and calendaring, Zoho Share for sharing presentations, Clearspace again for the Office 2.0 Database's front-end, Zoho creator for the back-end, Veodia for video broadcasting, Presdo for event scheduling, and a few others, all integrated together.

 

Best regards

Again, very impressive use of technology. Especially notable is the fact that it's all integrated. Could make for a good case study. Surprised you're not also utilizing Zoho DB & Reports.

Earl,

 

Don't be surprised. I'm sure we'll end up using them for something. Zoho has so many cool applications, it's hard to keep up...
