Zoho Corporation: Gartner UK D&A Showfloor Showdown Demo 2023

Zoho participated in Gartner's Show Floor Showdowns that were held in Gartner D&A London 2023 Summit, where same demo script and data set were given to 4 such vendors side by side.

Findings:

  • Dam construction has proven to be an effective strategy worldwide for mitigating river-based floods.
  • Coastal floods have become increasingly prominent in recent years, particularly in Southeast Asian countries.
  • Rapid urbanization, climate change, and inadequate investment in town planning are the primary factors contributing to the impact of coastal floods.
  • The following measures can effectively mitigate coastal floods:
    • Desilting waterways/rivers: Accumulated sediment and silt in waterways and rivers reduce their capacity to carry water, increasing the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall. Desilting helps restore their capacity by removing excess sediment and improving water flow.
    • Stormwater management: Upgrading and maintaining stormwater drainage systems, including drains, culverts, and canals, ensures proper flow and prevents blockages.
    • Implementing retention ponds and detention basins: These water bodies temporarily store excess stormwater during heavy rainfall events.
    • Addressing encroachments: Proactive measures to remove encroachments along waterways are crucial town planning strategies.
