Coronavirus impact: As work-from-home gains ground, Zoho, Cisco offer remote working tools for free

Over the past few days, Zoho Corp CEO Sridhar Vembu has been running the company from a remote farm near Tenkasi, a town in southern Tamil Nadu, thanks to Remotely — the company’s virtual collaboration and productivity platform.

This ‘remote’ collaboration tool could come in handy for companies who have asked thousands of their employees to work from home (WFH) following the coronavirus outbreak. In fact, with companies globally scrambling to cope with the virus asking their employees to WFH, Zoho plans to offer its new tool to all, free of cost, till July 1.
