Zoom

GW IT is transitioning to Zoom Workplace as our primary communication platform for phones, web conferencing, and more. The transition provides enhanced features, creates a more unified experience, and optimizes resources by simplifying the support of multiple platforms. This is a multi-year project that includes moving all phone and voice services and retiring Webex.
