Zoho already has an online office suite that makes Google Docs look like Microsoft Works. Now Zoho is expanding its software lineup from document management to people management. Zoho People is an online human resources application suite designed for small businesses.
At first glance, this might seem like a strange fit for a company that provides word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software. But part of the appeal of Zoho's office applications is their collaborative nature. You can easily share documents with your colleagues because they're all stored online. So if you're already collaborating with your employees using Zoho Office, why not manage your personnel using the same application suite?
Zoho People gives you tools for creating custom forms, creating and managing company departments, recruiting employees, creating checklists, and allowing employees to enter their own data.

Online collaboration tools like Zoho, Zimbra and ContactOffice can create extensive archives. As professionals make more use of these tools to draft and negotiate legal and business transactions -- and to hire/fire/compensate/discipline employees -- issues will arise regarding record retention and discovery in litigation. http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/02/collaboration-e-discovery-and-record.html

Zoho Office was beating the pants off of Google Docs last time I checked (Zoho Creator database app, for example). However I find myself using Google Docs (used it when it was Writely, by the way) because of the speed, readability, and Google universal sign-on (I am a Gmail and Google Reader user).
