Dennis O'Brien, Global Head of IT, Gerson Lehrman Group

"I wanted a solution that gives people the freedom to video conference wherever they are because high quality cameras are in every modern laptop, tablet and handheld device. Our go-to platform is Zoom, and quite frankly it's the best one that we've come across. Its simplicity is its beauty - users are finding it easy to adopt. With the 2.0 release, Zoom offers flexibility to create interesting video experiences such as our virtual water cooler, as well as making it easier to build our next-gen conference rooms."
