Zoho Connect: Simplified Internal Collaboration
Create a modern intranet and facilitate your team's collaboration, without being an IT expert.
With Zoho Connect, you create a social intranet where employees can communicate through feeds, groups, and chat, collaborate on projects with Kanban boards, and build a centralized knowledge base - all in one secure platform.
The result is higher employee engagement, faster information flow, and a single source of truth that replaces scattered emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools.
Svennis Cloud Solutions, a Zoho Premium Partner with over 200 implementations since 2011, assists you in designing, implementing, and optimizing Zoho Connect to improve your team's communication and efficiency across offices and remote teams alike.
This application from the Zoho suite is also included in the Zoho One license.
Why Choose Zoho Connect?
Efficient and secure internal collaboration
Many organizations lose productivity to scattered communication - important updates buried in email threads, company knowledge stored in individual drives, and remote employees feeling disconnected from the team.
- Zoho Connect solves this by providing a modern social intranet that centralizes company feeds, group discussions, chat, and forums in a familiar social-media-style interface that employees actually enjoy using.
- Beyond communication, it includes Kanban boards for project tracking, a structured knowledge base for policies and procedures, and custom apps for internal processes - replacing the need for separate tools.
- The platform integrates seamlessly with Zoho People for HR data, Zoho Projects for task updates, and third-party tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, so all work-related activity converges in one place.
- Svennis designs group architectures that mirror your organizational structure and builds automated workflows that reduce administrative overhead, ensuring high adoption rates from day one.
- This application from the Zoho suite is also included in the Zoho One license.
Efficient Collaboration
Centralize communication and information sharing in one place, reducing the time employees spend searching for updates across emails, chat apps, and shared drives.
- With company feeds, group discussions, and a searchable knowledge base all in a single platform, teams find answers faster and collaborate more effectively - measurably increasing productivity.
Engaged Employees
Provide an internal social network experience that motivates employees to actively participate, share their ideas, and be recognized for their contributions through likes, comments, and gamification features.
- Polls, forums, and town halls give every team member a voice, fostering a culture of transparency and inclusion that directly improves employee engagement and retention.
Scalability and Flexibility
Adapts to your organization's needs, whether you have a 10-person startup or a 5,000-employee enterprise, offering customization and expansion options as your business grows.
- Custom apps, automated workflows, branding with your company logo and domain, and advanced permission structures ensure Zoho Connect evolves alongside your organizational complexity.
5 Key Reasons to Choose Zoho Connect
Internal Social Network
Connect your employees through an internal news feed, discussion groups, real-time chat, and structured forums, so information flows quickly and transparently across the entire organization.
- Unlike email, where updates get lost in individual inboxes, the social feed ensures announcements reach everyone and threaded discussions keep context together.
- Polls and town halls add interactive elements that turn passive communication into active employee engagement.
Centralized Projects & Knowledge
Manage team tasks and projects with Kanban boards and task lists directly within your intranet, while creating a shared knowledge base through internal manuals, SOPs, and shared files accessible to colleagues at any time.
- This eliminates the common problem of institutional knowledge living only in people's heads or scattered across personal drives - new employees can onboard faster by browsing organized manuals, and departing team members leave their knowledge behind in a searchable repository.
Extensive Integrations
Zoho Connect integrates with your favourite apps - both from the Zoho suite and third-party tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, and Asana - to unify your digital workplace.
- Notifications and data from various platforms including CRM updates, project milestones, and HR announcements can be brought directly into the intranet feed, saving time and ensuring no important update is missed.
- Through Zoho Flow, you can extend these integrations to over 900 additional applications for a fully connected ecosystem.
GDPR Compliance
Fully complies with GDPR and European data protection regulations, with data stored in secure EU data centres and comprehensive access controls.
- Zoho Connect gives administrators granular control over internal data, user permissions, and content visibility, ensuring company information confidentiality while maintaining complete audit trails for compliance purposes.
Dedicated Local Support
You benefit from personalized EU-based assistance from the Svennis Cloud Solutions team, a Zoho Premium Partner with over 200 implementations since 2011.
- From initial group architecture design and user onboarding to custom app development, automated workflows, and ongoing technical support, we ensure Zoho Connect delivers measurable improvements in internal communication and employee engagement for your organization.
