Parent Company Renamed to Reflect Zoho's Emergence as Dominant Division
PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zoho today announced that the name of its parent company has changed from AdventNet, Inc., to ZOHO Corporation, effective immediately. The name change represents the evolution of the company and the emergence of Zoho as its widely known division. The corporate website for ZOHO Corp. will be www.zohocorp.com.
"In 1996, we started the company with a primary focus on network management. Over the years, we grew significantly, serving different markets," said
Sridhar Vembu, founder and CEO of ZOHO Corp.
"We are now best known for the Zoho suite of on-line business applications. Given the reach of Zoho, we are renaming the company to ZOHO Corporation, and Zoho.com will be one division. The other divisions - ManageEngine and WebNMS - will continue operating under their established names and also become divisions of ZOHO Corp."
The new name complements the rich history of ZOHO Corp. Founded in 1996, the 13-year old company has grown to 1,000 employees and remains privately held and profitable, having never sought nor raised venture capital. ZOHO Corp. will have three divisions:
- WebNMS division, which serves the needs of hundreds of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs);
- ManageEngine division, focusing on enterprise IT management; and
- Zoho.com division, focusing on on-line business, productivity and collaboration applications
While the AdventNet name will be retired, ZOHO Corp. will continue to operate under the same guiding, customer-honoring principles that brought the company to prominence. Likewise, the company will continue to maintain its headquarters in Pleasanton, CA with offices in Austin, New Jersey, London, Tokyo and Beijing. Engineering will remain based in Chennai, India.
"I'd like to thank all our customers who have been with us all along, for their continued support and letting us serve them," Vembu continued. "We will stay customer focused and will continue our commitment to serve their needs even better in the future."
