SaaS-a-fras asks a question in his recent post about new products from Zoho in 07.
How many new products will Zoho launch in 07?
Frankly, we dont know the answer for this. While we surely will release some apps, no one (including Zoho) can answer this question.
A decision to do a product could take few months in some cases to couple of hours in other cases. The source of ideas can be from anywhere. They come from internal teams in some cases or it could even come from you.....oh yea...you guys force us to do some products. Let me give you an example. Earlier this year when we released Zoho Writer and Sheet we didnt have fixed plans on doing a presentation app. But then users started asking us about release dates of our presentation app when we didnt even decide to do a presentation app at that point. More users kept asking us about the presentation app and that fuelled the development effort. We quickly setup a team for Zoho Show (during Jan) and then released Zoho Show in June. Now thats all history. The point is, we dont know how the market will turn out to be in 2007....and we also dont know in what direction you'll take us by forcing us to do some new apps :). Things change at a great pace and its really tough to say how many new apps we will do in 2007.
That being said, we will release some apps that we think are essential for Zoho suite. If you do have ideas on some products you think will add value to zoho suite, please do drop is a line (info at zoho dot com) and we can talk.
