Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, recognizes the significant growth opportunities for Philippine businesses through effective software solutions.
According to Statista, leveraging digital technologies could unlock US$101.3 billion in annual economic value by 2030 in the Philippines. However, the digital skills gap among the workforce remains a key challenge. As Zoho continues to innovate with new product features and AI enhancements, it remains crucial for us to engage customers actively, ensuring their employees are equipped with the necessary skills to maximize the benefits of our solutions.
This year, Zoho has intensified its training and outreach initiatives to enhance the technological capabilities of employees in Philippine businesses. Zoho CRM, the company’s flagship product for managing sales processes and customer relationships, hosted a Customer Experience Workshop in Manila. This event trained over 100 attendees, helping them explore the software’s extensive features and set up automated workflows to improve process efficiency. Beyond Manila, Zoho expanded its reach by organizing “Discover Zoho,” an introductory workshop highlighting key Zoho products, in Cebu. Additionally, Zoho participated in DEVCON’s 2024 Summit in Mindanao, further extending its engagement with the local tech community.
