What's new in digital platforms for business: updates from Bitrix24, Zoom, 1C, and others

Bitrix24

In 2025, Bitrix24 continues to actively develop, focusing on artificial intelligence, user interface convenience, and expanding communication capabilities for business.

1. Artificial Intelligence
   An intelligent assistant is built into the system, helping to automate daily tasks: from report generation to planning. This speeds up workflows and reduces the burden on employees.
2. New Look and Localization
   The interface has become cleaner and more intuitive — the menu structure has been redesigned, and navigation has been improved. Importantly, the platform is now available in Kazakh, which is particularly relevant for businesses in Kazakhstan.
3. Updated Messenger
   The corporate chat has been modernized: channels, group discussions, video calls, and AI integration have been added, enhancing internal communication capabilities.
4. Integrations and Reliability
   Support for external services and automation scenarios has been expanded. Platform stability has been increased, and data protection has been strengthened.

1C

In early 2025, 1C Kazakhstan held the 14th Forum for accountants and managers, bringing together over 20,000 participants. The event took place on February 7 in Astana and became the largest platform for discussions on legislation, digitalization, and accounting automation.

In April, the Moscow office of 1C, together with distributors in Uzbekistan, held a large-scale event in Tashkent. A contract was also signed with the Tashkent Institute of Information Technologies for the training of 1C specialists. According to the company, more than 300,000 people program in the 1C language, and this number grows annually.

TrustMe

TrustMe is a blockchain-based electronic signature service that attracted $1 million in investment from well-known American investor Tim Draper.

The company also gained access to the global investment platform Dealroom.co — one of the world's leading sources of data on startups and investments.

Documentolog

In January 2025, the Kazakh company Documentolog launched a B2B marketplace for IT services — Documentolog Market, which united over 120,000 companies and has more than 1 million users. The platform helps promote and sell IT solutions.

The company also presented Documentolog AI — a system that analyzes documents, their context, and history, helps assign responsible parties, and identifies bottlenecks in business processes for optimization.

Didox

Today, more than 80% of enterprises in Uzbekistan use Didox in their operations, making the platform a standard for digital document flow.

The company is actively developing new services within the Didox ecosystem, providing businesses with effective solutions in a single-window format. Among the innovations: 
— a factoring platform for convenient financial management
— a tender platform — optimization of procurement processes
— a banking products platform — integration with financial services
— analytics — tools for strategic planning 
— logistics services — automation of delivery and supply chain management 
— HR services — digital solutions for personnel accounting.

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft continues to develop its ecosystem, making it more secure, integrated, and convenient for business.

Microsoft Teams is replacing Skype — support for Skype will end on May 5, 2025. Users are offered a free transition to Teams, including the transfer of contacts and chat history. This is part of a global strategy to centralize communication tools.

New security measures in Teams include blocking screenshots during video meetings, automatically switching unsupported participants to audio mode, and enhanced data protection.

Zoom 

Zoom expands the capabilities of Workplace: new AI features are already available to users

Zoom Workplace introduced a new level of automation that helps users manage meetings and tasks more efficiently. Now, an AI assistant is available on the "Tasks" tab, which schedules meetings, creates documents based on their outcomes, and records videos.  

In addition, the platform received a new voice recorder for the mobile application, which records, transcribes, and summarizes in-person meetings.  

Another significant update is the real-time notes feature, which automatically generates brief reports during meetings and calls, simplifying the capture of key points without additional intervention.  

All these innovations are already available to users at no extra cost, making Zoom Workplace an even more powerful tool for business.
