Zoho presents Projects Plus, an AI-powered platform that improves project management through smooth communication, real-time analytics, and predictive insights.

Zoho Corp. has recently announced its Projects Plus aimed at collaborative project management for mid-sized to large companies in the Middle East and North African region. It's an integrated platform of Zoho Projects, WorkDrive, Analytics, and Sprints creating a systematic workflow, file management, real-time analytics, and collaboration. The project management methodologies provide for both Agile and Waterfall implementation to meet varying needs.

Following the success of Zoho Projects, which in 2024 witnessed a fast migration of 55% of their user base from competitors like Microsoft Project and JIRA, Projects Plus sought to address the operational complexities of regional organizations. The Middle East and Africa (MEA) is Zoho's fastest-growing market, wherein Zoho Projects has recently experienced an annual revenue growth rate of 33% since 2023.

Through AI-supported analytics, this transforms project planning from intuition-based decision-making to data-driven understanding. Among the characteristics is time estimation, resource planning, and risk prediction. The democratization of data, artificial intelligence, hybrid project management, and collaborative work management are the four main pillars of project management advancements. Projects then benefit from quality control analytics, bottleneck assessments, and real-time progress tracking.

With Zia, Zoho now boasts an advanced AI engine that would provide project managers with an additional layer of automation, and help them in optimizing tasks, allocating resources, and predicting potential delays or overspending issues. As a result of this platform's advanced capability to provide clear meaningful insights from raw data, the productivity increases, risks drop, and project results abound.

The Projects Plus redefines enterprise project management by infusing AI-enabled tools, real-time analytics, and advanced collaboration capabilities into the offering, thus becoming part of the global proliferation of Zoho.
