About ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
ServiceDesk Plus Cloud widens its Zia AI and Microsoft Teams footprint, region by region.
ServiceDesk Plus Cloud is in a steady rollout phase built on two tracks: extending Zia, its Zoho-hosted LLM, deeper into workflow authoring, and pushing Microsoft Teams into the day-to-day technician surface. Recent releases are dominated by data-center-by-data-center availability (UAE, China, UK) and a stream of template and email bug fixes, with occasional feature drops layered on top.
