Typical Use cases / examples
1. Online Storage Vendors:
In addition to offering online file storage, vendors in this category
want to increase the value add to their services by allowing users to
open desktop documents in Zoho's browser-based editors. In
addition, this scenario allows users to edit and save the edited
documents back to the user account in your servers. Implementing the
Zoho Remote API provides a simple and uninterrupted workflow.
2. Intranet Document Access:
In this scenario, an administrator of an organization with many users
and documents uploaded on their intranet servers wants to provide an
online tools like Zoho Writer/Sheet/Show, while maintaining control of
the documents on their servers. Since Zoho applications are available as a web
service through the Remote API, and the documents are stored locally,
administrators can satisfy their security and access control
requirements.
Documents remain on your servers and users access them
for editing/saving using Zoho application editors. The resulting benefits
are a huge savings for your business as it cuts costs of a centralized
server that you host & maintain and the licensing costs of desktop
based software to be installed in each of your user's machines.
