"Extending Vonage's existing partnership with Zoho to include Nexmo APIs is the perfect complement to our robust offering of cloud communications solutions for business. We are delighted to continue to collaborate with Zoho on new and innovative ways to help businesses stay connected."

With the Nexmo Extension for Zoho CRM, users can also do the following:

• Make voice calls to contacts from within Zoho CRM;
• Track outbound call history with up-to-date call status;
• Create/manage customized voice templates;
• Manage connections with contacts via an interactive dashboard;
• Send customized voice calls through CRM workflows; and
• Set the IVR for outgoing and incoming calls.

"Providing the best user experience has always been our goal. To enhance the customer experience, we have partnered with Nexmo and built SMS, voice call, and IVR features for Zoho CRM users which are now available as an extension in the Zoho Marketplace," said Mani Vembu, chief operating officer at Zoho, in a statement. "In this era of mobile phones and handheld devices, SMS and voice calls reach customers easily, and they have high visibility. Using the Nexmo Extension for Zoho CRM, a business' customer-facing departments can now contemporize the way they reach customers."
