With hybrid working now a core aspect of many organizations’ business practices, facilitating effective collaboration among enterprise users has never been more challenging. Get it wrong and your end users will not only see their productivity impacted, but also their confidence in your implemented solutions.
Today, Unified Communication and Collaboration solutions – which provide your business users with all the tools they need, whenever they need them – are considered the gold standard for enterprises. But with so many capable offerings out there, how can you be sure which one is right for your organization?
Here’s why leveraging Zoom Phone as your Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution in the modern workplace is a strong option.
Is Zoom UCaaS Right For Your Enterprise?
Zoom remains committed to enabling business users to collaborate seamlessly, intuitively, and effectively. This is evident in the platform’s investment in enhancing business-focused features.
As Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom, stated in November 2022, “Our team has built and launched more than 1,500 features and enhancements on the Zoom platform this year, advancing the way people connect with each other, their organization, and their customers—ultimately, opening the doors wide for creativity and collaboration.” Diving deeper, Dave Duvall, CIO of Technology also mentions Zoom voice among other solutions “We’ve been able to evolve with Zoom, particularly beyond meetings, with products like Zoom Phone, Zoom Rooms, and Zoom Team Chat. The whole platform has really expanded our capabilities to collaborate and stay connected within the organization.”
The bottom line is that Zoom is a fit-for-purpose, feature-rich UCaaS solution for enterprises, and delivers a number of advantages.
Advantages Of Zoom Unified Communication
A single, unified platform
Having one platform for team chat, another for voice calls, and a third for collaboration can be both complicated and costly. The beauty of Zoom’s cloud-based UCaaS offering is that it combines all the features you’d expect in a unified communication solution into a single, streamlined platform. One that is consistently mentioned is the one-click option to elevate phone calls to video meetings. This alleviates the need to juggle multiple platforms and provides ease of use.
Familiar user interface
Chances are many of your business users will have already used Zoom before. This makes the adoption of the solution much easier which means that less time and money needs to be spent on user familiarization.
Multiple device flexibility
Zoom’s UCaaS solution can be used across multiple devices, enabling your business users to continue to collaborate regardless of where they are, or what hardware they are using. This is especially effective when utilizing the Zoom voice app to deliver ultimate communication flexibility.
Secure and reliable
Zoom isn’t a newcomer to the video conferencing scene. In fact, Omdia recently found that Zoom excels in offering enterprise-grade security. With this in mind, it’s safe to say that Zoom’s reputation for security and reliability is impeccable.
Centralized management
As with most UCaaS offerings, a Zoom unified communications solution allows your IT teams to provision and manage your business users from a centralized system. Such an intuitive and easy-to-use setup enables your administrators to spend less time on user maintenance and allows them to focus on value-add projects.
Competitive pricing
Because it’s cloud-based, Zoom’s UCaaS solution can be taken advantage of without any costly capital expenditure (CapEx) investment, which is cost-effective if you’re already using Zoom for other solutions. Moreover, its consistent and competitive pricing models mean you will not experience bill shock. This allows you to plan and manage your cash flow more effectively.
