Impressed by Zoom's user-friendly enterprise product suite is Al Pooley, VP of
Infrastructure & Cloud Services at Sophos, who commented: "Our global
enterprise suffered from too many communications solutions, all of which left
us unsatisfied in one way or another, particularly regarding ease of use,
integrations, and scalability. We needed to find a better way to connect our 77
offices and numerous remote workers." Pooley continued: "Zoom has provided us
one comprehensive communications solution that scales across all our end users
and meeting spaces. Zoom has been pivotal in enabling us to build and
strengthen teams across multiple geographies quickly and cost-effectively. Most
importantly, our users, right up to our CEO, love it."
Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom, added: "As the market demands effortless
collaboration and future-proof technologies, Zoom has demonstrated our ability
to increase productivity and reduce costs by providing the first solution
specifically designed with video in mind. Already established as one of the
fastest-growing business applications globally, we see a highly successful 2017
as the perfect springboard to achieving even more in 2018 for our UK and
worldwide customers."
Daniel Creigh, head of UK & Ireland at Zoom, commented: "The rapid growth of
Zoom across the UK has been fuelled by an ever-increasing demand for
simple-to-use and secure meeting experiences. Zoom has met these demands for
streamlined communications, while enhancing business processes and delighting
our users at every turn."
