Privacy and Security Commitment
Zoho continues its commitment to user privacy with no reliance on ad revenue and full ownership of its data centers, ensuring robust security and privacy controls for its users. The platform is trusted by over 100 million users globally.
“I use Zoho Analytics for secure online reporting to multiple customers – nurses and midwives – in multiple countries,” said Emma Elcombe, Senior Research Officer, Western Sydney University. “Through it, I upload live data into one place, which our customers can filter to get unique, specific and – critically – real-time insights into the impact of visits on families and family satisfaction. With that data, we’re able to improve the quality of services for families. Without Zoho and its live, dynamic and accessible reports, we’d still be relying on static PDF reports, which are limited in what they show and it’s a major burden to collect, share and update the data. What’s more, Zoho Analytics is secure from a data perspective, which is absolutely paramount in the healthcare sector. For healthcare providers, time and insight is critical, and with the new features in Zoho Analytics, we’ll be able to enjoy even more of both.”
“Zoho Analytics launched in 2009 as Zoho Reports, long before technology had caught up to Zoho’s vision for business intelligence,” said Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist for Zoho. “Since then, Zoho has made considerable investments around automation, no-code/low-code development, third-party integration, machine learning, and Zia, Zoho’s in-house AI engine. The latest version of Zoho Analytics is one of the first solutions from the company that takes advantage of every one of these decades-long investments. The result is a democratised platform that is powerful, intelligent, flexible, and simple to use.”
