Zoho Wins “Best Enterprise Start-up” at The 2007 Crunchies

PLEASANTON, Calif.--Zoho today announced it won the award for “Best Enterprise Start-up” at the inaugural 2007 Crunchies Awards. A collaboration project between GigaOm, Read/WriteWeb, VentureBeat and TechCrunch, The Crunchies recognize and celebrate the most compelling startups, Internet and technology innovations of the year as determined by the Internet community.

“The Crunchies reflect the wisdom of the crowd,” said Raju Vegesna, Zoho evangelist. “Having the community at large judge Zoho the best enterprise start-up validates our decision to deliver a broad online application suite that is quickly evolving to reach parity – on feature-by-feature basis – with desktop alternatives.”
