Zoom is a leading market vendor that has successfully transformed the audio, video, and web meeting experience, opening up the world of next-gen communications to the masses. Since entering the market in 2011, Zoom has seen rapid-fire growth to reach an impressive $1 billion valuation by January 2017. Its industry-leading technology and innovative go-to-market strategy pose a threat to established conferencing and collaboration vendors that have dominated the industry for decades.

"Zoom unifies cloud video communications, chat, and a software-based conference room solution into one platform," said Roopam Jain, Industry Director, Enterprise Communications & Collaboration at Frost & Sullivan. "This single platform approach offers a simple and consistent user experience across all meeting spaces – desktops, executive offices, open spaces, huddle rooms, and large conference rooms, as well as includes top-notch mobile experiences."

Zoom has led with an open platform built from the ground up that allows developers the customization flexibility needed to meet their needs and integrate Zoom into their existing workflows. The platform contains leading-edge features and functionality. Recent enhancements include:

"Zoom's mission to change the video communications industry has caught the attention of high-profile investors leading to impressive funding," noted Jain. "In January 2017, Zoom raised $100 million in Series D funding from Sequoia, which brought its total funding to $145.5 million and put its valuation over the $1 billion mark. Zoom also plans to aggressively expand its international presence with the new funding."
