How can we help you with ZOHO?
It’s not just about the how. It’s about the WHY.
We actually wrote the books
Really, we have the only Zoho ONE book on the market (sold on Amazon and on our site). We are constantly working to keep it updated…which means, we know everything there is to know about Zoho.
You could spend all of your time viewing YouTube videos or searching online for how to do something. Stop beating your head against the computer screen. Not only do we know the answer, but we can help you with the why you would want to implement any of the Zoho apps or which app works better for your team.
Questions like: Why do it this way? Why should you use Zoho Campaigns instead of something like Constant Contact or Marketing Automation? What is the difference between Zoho Survey and Zoho Forms? Which Zoho app should you use to record time sheets (there are three apps in Zoho that do that) and why is one better for your company than another? Why fill in these fields? Why pick this dialog box option over that one? We know these kinds of things.
In addition, we wrote a very comprehensive book on Zoho CRM (also sold on Amazon and our site).
We worked with several CRM databases since 1987. However in 2011 we narrowed our focus to only work with Zoho apps, including CRM, Books, Campaigns, Forms, Recruit, Desk, etc. All of this focus led us to writing the Zoho ONE book.
We’ve worked with literally thousands of clients to help them get the most out of their software and would be glad to help you with getting the most out of Zoho for your company.

We’ll give you a head start. How about a copy of one or more of our handy, double-sided Zoho Quick Reference Cards for your own use or for training your end-users. Let us know who you are and the system will email you a copy right away of the cheat sheets you select (CRM, Desk or Books).

Change is hard. We always go first.
We use our own Zoho environment (CRM, Books, Campaigns, Forms, Sign, etc.) like an everyday laboratory to see what works and what doesn’t. What we have found is that Zoho pulls together all of the tools that a company would need to manage their company. It is an all in one solution that allowed us to transform our business and we would love to help you get in the game as well.
Cornerstone Solutions, Inc. was founded in 1987 as a software training company, and we are now a Zoho Premium Partner and one of the nation’s leading implementers of the Zoho suite of products. We work with solopreneur clients, as well as those that have over 500 users.

Really, you should take advantage of all that experience in working with all of those companies.
If you are doing something that is working for you, keep doing it. But if not, we’d love to help you explore your options. And if you need more help getting started, we can help.
Things are Changing
The world is changing at a fast pace. More and more companies are realizing the benefits of moving their sales team and company to the cloud and relying less on expensive internal servers. The cloud offers instant (yet secure) access to important files when away from the office. Road warriors and remote office workers enjoy easier access to client information and reporting of activities
Sharing information across your organization has never been easier!
Let us show you how.
Our 5-Step Process
We can certainly tell you how to do something, but we find that it works best with our clients if you tell us what problems/issues you are dealing with or trying to solve. Then we can help you formulate a plan for how to best accomplish that in the Zoho world. See the 5-step process that we use by clicking on each element below.
Discovery
Our obsession is understanding the why of your business and transforming that into a system in Zoho that supports your corporate sales and marketing strategies while making it streamlined and easy enough to encourage end-user adoption. We start each project with a discovery meeting, which usually lasts between 1 and 3 hours (though for more complicated projects, they may run longer). Regardless of where you are located, we can meet with you and/or multiple staff members via online meeting software and a conference line.
We will talk about your strategies and goals, things that have been working and those not working. Will you want to use Deals? Create Quotes from Zoho? Integrate other products? Build reports on activity? If you are using spreadsheets in your business, it helps us to see them prior to our meeting.
Our goal will be to develop a system for your business that increases the odds of success and to develop a system that makes the lives of you and your teams much easier and more productive.
Design
Anyone can add a field. Really, it’s not rocket science. But we have years of experience in knowing what works and what doesn’t.
After our initial discussions, we can help you design the perfect Zoho system that supports your goals and processes.
We can create the correct types of custom fields to segment your business, set up the custom modules to track any non-standard items, design layouts that are organized and clean without any unnecessary fields, build email templates to create quick responses or promote your business, add workflows to automate your business and create the reports and dashboards to help monitor your business. We can setup your users and define an effective system of security to control who sees what or who can do what.
We can handle it all for you or work in collaboration with you.
Migrating Data
Whether you are converting from another software, importing your data from Outlook or a spreadsheets or bringing over your data from your accounting system, we can help you get your data into your new custom-designed Zoho ONE system.
We’ve successfully converted from CRMs like Salesforce.com, Highrise, Insightly, Hubspot, MS CRM and even ACT!. Or help desk software like ZenDesk or FreshDesk. We have also shepherded the migration from QuickBooks to Zoho Books.
When familiar data has already been added to the database, it significantly improves end-user adoption.
Integration
Zoho has a suite of over 40 native products that can be used to run your business. While the integration among the products is somewhat straightforward, there are conditions to setup each of the connections. We can help with that.
Since Zoho is now one of the most popular online CRMs, there are also a ton other products that can be integrated. That way you can keep using what works well for you while maximizing your use of Zoho. Our development staff has worked with a variety of clients, from small businesses to large corporations, and has the skills to develop solutions that are tailored to each individual customer. With Cornerstone, you can be sure that your project will be handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. We are committed to providing the best possible solutions for your business, and our developers have the experience and knowledge to make it happen.
Training
– We offer group or individual training that is very user-friendly.
– We use your custom-designed database for our online training sessions and they are usually less than two hours.
– We can cover both web and mobile apps during our session.
– While we cover keystrokes (the how), our focus is on training that reinforces the goals (the WHY) that we set out in our initial discovery session.
– We can also provide in-depth training for your administrators to help you be more self-sufficient.
– Short follow-up training sessions are recommended to help your team really get up to speed.
“Lots of people can tell you HOW to do something. It’s always been important to me to understand the WHY. WHY should you do it this way instead of that way? WHY should you use this product instead of that one? It’s important to know when you are making decisions that impact your business… and your life.”
