Let Zoho send the bill
Zoho Invoice, part of a growing suite of online business services from Zoho, lets you invoice customers by e-mail, track receivables, and collect payments online. The flexibility of Zoho's suite design means you can share common data with other, extra-cost Zoho services, such as Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects. You can also export data to accounting apps in CSV, Excel, and other formats. But if invoicing is all you need, you can use and pay for just that.
Understanding Zoho, the company taking on Google, MS
Here's an interesting strategy for a new software company: create applications that place you squarely in the competitive sights of Google and Microsoft, bypass venture capital funding, and rebuff an acquisition offer from Salesforce.com, the surging software as a service (SaaS) company that delivers its products over the Web.
Online office apps get real
Web-based office suites are coming into their own at last. For quite a while, Web-based suites -- which offered word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and other tools associated with desktop office suites -- were extolled not because they did these things well, but because they could do them at all. But the three major competitors, Google Docs, ThinkFree, and Zoho, have all made major improvements in recent months. They're becoming both broader, with more applications, and deeper, with more features and functionality in existing apps.
