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.
