Two unconnected events in the first week of 2021 have sped the adoption of decentralised real time communication. WhatsApp is being sucked dry by its data mining owner The first was an update to WhatsApp’s privacy policy. Rarely has a privacy policy managed to generate quite so much media coverage.

Which is why inclusivity in design is much more than a buzzword now. As we edge toward a digitally native population with a vibrant and varied demography of people who are connected by a digital environment, it’s time to question some of the design assumptions we have.

Launching Zoho Projects 7—more speed, a complete UI makeover, and new features to help businesses deal with disruptions in their work.

We’ve been so inspired by the best practices you’ve shared to support each other and your teams through collaboration, clarity, and mindfulness. As we start the new year, we wanted to share our top 10 #collaborationcohort tips from the past year so you can approach the opportunities ahead with renewed motivation and positive energy.

Thanks to the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, more and more businesses find themselves in urgent need of a digital transformation to stay afloat.

Do you think email is still the fastest way of getting stuff done? As you might have guessed from the title, we beg to differ. Yes, Microsoft Outlook is one of the most popular desktop email clients.
