Zoho Introduces Projects Plus: an Integrated Artificial Intelligence Project Management Solution
Zoho Launches AI-Powered Project Management Platform: Zoho Projects Plus
Zoho Corporation has announced the launch of Zoho Projects Plus, an AI-driven project management platform designed to enhance efficiency and collaboration for mid-sized and enterprise organizations worldwide.
The new platform, according to Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist at Zoho, synthesises the latest AI-driven tools, data-first analytics, and privacy-focused protections. It integrates four key Zoho applications: Projects, WorkDrive, Analytics, and Sprints.
Zoho Projects Plus is priced at $16 per user per month in the U.S., which is 27% lower than the combined cost of purchasing Projects, Sprints, WorkDrive, and Analytics separately. The platform offers a significant step in delivering scalable, AI-enhanced project management solutions for businesses across various industries.
One of the key features of Zoho Projects Plus is its Predictive Analysis. This feature uses historical data to forecast risks, estimate timelines, and anticipate resource needs. The platform also integrates hybrid project management, collaborative work management, and a powerful layer of data analytics with contextually embedded AI across all applications.
The companies Microsoft Projects and JIRA contributed to the triple growth in Zoho Projects users, with 55% of new users coming from these platforms. Early adopters of Zoho Projects Plus have reported improved efficiency and visibility across teams. Steve Wooster, Vice President of Operations at Virtuoso, has highlighted the platform's impact on enterprise-wide project coordination.
Dave Smith, founder and principal analyst at InFlow Analysis, emphasizes the role of AI in redefining project management with Zoho Projects Plus. Zoho's AI assistant, Zia, enhances resource allocation, streamlines workflows, and enables smarter project forecasting in Projects Plus. Automated analytics in Projects Plus ensure that deliverables meet predefined standards throughout the project lifecycle.
Real-time dashboards in Projects Plus replace static tools like Gantt charts, providing up-to-date project status insights. The platform also allows teams to customize data use by department. Zoho Projects Plus directly connects between Zoho Projects, Sprints, and Analytics, reducing friction and ensuring teams maintain a full, transparent view of company priorities.
Regional pricing details can be found at Zoho's official site. With the launch of Zoho Projects Plus, Zoho Corporation continues to expand its suite of business solutions, aiming to redefine project management in the digital age.
In 2024, Zoho Projects saw a 20% year-over-year revenue increase, indicating a growing demand for Zoho's project management solutions. The threefold rise in user migration from third-party project management tools to Zoho Projects further underscores this trend.
In conclusion, Zoho Projects Plus offers a comprehensive, AI-driven solution for project management, designed to improve efficiency, collaboration, and predictability for businesses of all sizes.
