  • We finally have a solution in place for video conferencing that the userbase is behind. It's been a great addition to the company and a huge win for IT.
  • We have had issues getting Slack users to use the chat features.
  • It is a step closer to a unified communication solution for the company.

  • We've seen a confidence increase for IT from our End Users. They asked for this to be implemented and we were able to provide this for them.
  • We are across 3 different time zones, so the collaboration without needing to fly people constantly has provided less strain on the end-users.
  • My division's use of the tool, and having invited members of other divisions, has lead to curiosity as to how to begin using it in their environment.

  • So far we've seen a good impact regarding meetings, specifically training and PMO meetings.
  • We have had issues with voice call back in India. Users stated very poor quality. We are trying to resolve the issue, but as of right now they are stating it works better with Skype.

  • Zoom has been great for my business because it shows people that they can have a video-first culture and that all communications should happen over video to develop trust and be more efficient.
  • Zoom allows me to work remotely, but still have a much more engaging and personal relationship with my clients by interacting with them on video rather than just phone calls.
  • Zoom allows me to work from anywhere.

  • It's shown to be cost-effective for staff when traveling, no matter where or what OS is being used.
  • Zoom has easy to use collaborative tools for outlining technical diagrams and worksheets.
  • Quicker access to recordings after meetings so we can review while ideas are still fresh.

  • So far very limited yet we've had great feedback on the ability to enhance our All-Staff as we're seeing an uptick of using Zoom for future all-staff.
  • Because we're seeing an increase in demand for video conference calls, we're looking to expand the use of Zoom rooms so users can add this feature to their meetings.
  • Better communication with our remote staff from our Baseball Operations coordinators. We have several affiliates across the country as well as Asia and South America. This tool has been a great way to communicate instructions and roles.
