Zoom is revolutionizing enterprise communications with its purpose-built, cloud-based video conferencing service for meeting spaces. Historically, video-enabling meeting spaces was a cost intensive endeavor, generally reserved for large enterprises with big budgets. Even when rooms were outfitted with video conferencing technology, they were limited to executive briefing centers and a handful of dedicated conference rooms. Zoom Rooms, Zoom’s cloud conferencing solution for meeting spaces, provides organizations with an opportunity for mass deployment across a variety of room types, predictable and affordable total cost of ownership (TCO), and users to connect with people outside their own firewall environment from any desktop, mobile, or conference room device.
It’s common lore that building on-premise solutions will offer more control and security, but most who have tried have struggled or failed. Large, complex, on-premise video conferencing tools take a level of knowledge and resources not easily available to most businesses. It is a difficult endeavor to install a video conferencing service and use an existing IT team to keep it running efficiently. Most teams don’t have the time or expertise to maintain a system that is reliable, cost effective, and scalable. In some cases, they are surprised by the hidden high cost of maintaining an on-premise solution. Additionally, most on-premise deployments are only used for internal meetings, and do not support external video communications, meaning teams miss out on face-to-face interactions with partners, vendors, customers, and prospects. Zoom Video Communications offers a cloud-based conference room video conferencing solution that helps organizations make the transition from on-premise video conferencing to a simple, versatile, and cost-effective cloud solution for every type of meeting space.
