Zoom’s Usefulness Extends Beyond Remote Work

Zoom is Still Great

If you haven’t heard of Zoom before, you must not have heard of the coronavirus as well. Zoom has become such a part of our common parlance that people are starting to feel ‘zoom fatigue.’ Despite many having had enough of Zoom, it is still an amazing, easy-to-use, and innovative product, whose usefulness will certainly continue.

Zoom offers video-first unified communication solutions, including Zoom Phone, Zoom Meetings, Zoom Rooms, and Zoom Webinars, all of which can be scaled based on your business needs across desktops, phones, mobile devices, and conference room systems.

Zoom’s Usefulness Extends Beyond Remote Work

Although the average American might not have used (or heard of) Zoom until the virus, the technology is applicable for a wide variety of scenarios outside the purview of social distancing and remote work.

It can cost a lot of money to travel. Staying at a hotel is one thing but airfare is another huge expense that businesses have to deal with when they must transport their managers, CEOs, and employees across the country and abroad. Zoom can massively reduce costs by enabling meetings from the CEO’s office rather than in a conference room some hundreds of miles away. Moreover, a reduction in travel is also a step towards suitability.

While Zoom can be used to reduce travel; travel is an unavoidable reality for many organizations. In these instances, Zoom is still applicable. Workers who are traveling can participate in conference calls or get work done even if their flight is delayed and they are stuck in a terminal.

Zoom Webinars are additionally not tied to remote workers or social distancing. Even before COVID-19, webinars were very common in the telecommunications and IT industry as it was not practical to have 100 plus people come to an office to hear a thirty-minute technology announcement.

Zoom can also be deployed in various, ‘random’ use cases. If an employee is sick but still wants to participate in a meeting, they can do so from their home. Moving outside the realm of business, if there is horrible weather and a professor cannot make it to class, they could set up a Zoom meeting and have the class watch the lecture.
