Why It Pays to Be Picky

A Zoho setup is a long-term investment. The wrong partner can lead to poor configurations, missing integrations, and lost productivity.
The right one, like Zenatta Consulting, a Premium Partner, delivers a tailored, scalable system designed for measurable results.

Top 7 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Zoho Partner

How many Zoho implementations have you completed?

Experience counts. Ask for specific numbers and industries served. Don’t be afraid to ask for them to provide case studies and references.

What certifications do your consultants hold?

Look for official Zoho certifications, not just self-claimed expertise. 👉 Review the Zoho Partner Directory to verify credentials.

Can I see recent case studies or client references?

Transparent partners showcase measurable success for everyone to see. Check out Zenatta’s Zoho Partner case studies.

How do you handle post-implementation support?

Good partners stay involved—offering training, optimization, and ongoing support packages.

Which Zoho apps are you most experienced with?

Some firms focus on CRM, others on Finance or Desk. While some have a large enough team to work with almost all the applications. Make sure their strengths match your needs.

What’s your project methodology?

Partners should use structured project plans with clear timelines, deliverables, and milestones.

How do you ensure data security and compliance?

Any partner handling your data should follow GDPR and Zoho’s own security protocols.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

  • No published case studies or verified client reviews

If you encounter these signs, it might be best to keep searching.
