Zoho has unveiled Cliq chat software that blends instant messaging with video, audio, and group conferencing to create a unified communications system for organizations of every size.
Available immediately in native, web and mobile versions, Cliq integrates with Zoho and third-party applications to bring relevant data from those applications into the Cliq window, providing chat participants contextual information about the topic being discussed.
"More companies around the world are turning to chat for real-time, internal collaboration," said Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho Corp. "But, sometimes, text isn’t enough, and chat software must also be able handle voice and video communications as well as the documents, images, and other data related to the work at hand. Cliq supports this kind of dynamic, company-wide collaboration. It provides a degree of future-proofing thanks to its unprecedented extensibility and strong developer community.”
With Cliq, Zoho provides users with real-time messaging between team members and different departments to foster rapid decision-making. Files of any format can be shared via the chat window in seconds. Separate channels can be created for individual teams, specific projects, company-wide discussions, and other collaboration. Channels can reduce the need for time-consuming meetings, while still keeping everyone in the loop.
