Zoho lands Swisscom as partner

Zoho said Tuesday that it will partner with telecom company Swisscom to offer the company's business applications to its enterprise customers.

Swisscom has 300,000 business customers and for emerging software as a service (SaaS) player Zoho it's a big win. Zoho said in a post that the partnership will be in a pilot phase for six months and then be extended.

Specifically, Swisscom is offering a version of Zoho Business that includes Writer, Sheet, Show, Notebook and Meeting via the telecom's Teamnet portal.

Zoho has been increasingly targeting the enterprise launching a CRM version designed to take on Salesforce.com as well as a human capital management tool called Zoho People.
