As the pandemic has become increasingly difficult to control, on 31 March 2020, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 16/CT-TTg on urgent measures for prevention of Covid-19, including a total social distancing in 15 days across the country. The problem of maintaining the operation of businesses, agencies and schools is more urgent than ever. Accordingly, "software for online work, learning and meeting" as well as related phrases have also become a trend and have been searched for a lot on the Internet.

Zoom – Solution to the problem of "breaking the barriers of social distancing"

Provided by Zoom Video Communications - a US technology firm, Zoom so far has been used and recognized by more than 170,000 organizations worldwide as an effective solution for working, meeting and learning remotely. Zoom is ranked 18^th in Forbes Cloud 100 – the list of 100 best cloud technology firms in the world, voted by the famous business magazine Forbes.

Zoom is a multi-point online conferencing software, which allows users to hold online meetings with small number of participants or online seminars with the participation of thousands of people. At the outbreak of the disease, Zoom video conference room solution has changed the work culture and helped create an online exchange environment anywhere using computers or mobile devices with Internet connection. Currently in Vietnam, Zoom is being used by thousands of schools and educational centers to maintain the teaching and learning of teachers and students after more than 2 months of school closure due to the pandemic.

Zoom enables powerful connection and interaction in meetings

The outstanding advantages of Zoom compared to other video conferencing solutions include easy to install, easy to use, crisp image quality, and works well on all device and transmission line configurations. Users review the software as simple and flexible, which saves up to 60% of the costs compared to multi-point television conference system - which often costs more due to the need to invest in many hardware devices.

Zoom also regularly provides patches to deliver the optimal version. Most recently, on 1 April 2020, Zoom has released a new update to upgrade the security system, ensuring the safety of user's data and information.

Zoom-A variety of product packages for customers to choose from

Zoom is offering a free plan to assist users as the situation of disease is getting more and more complicated. However, the free plan will not enable users to fully use resources and advantageous features of the software.  In addition, problems such as call quality, time limit of 40 minutes per each login, disrupted connection when delivering important contents are having big impacts on the quality of working and learning.

To solve the problems mentioned above, CMS has started to offer license of Zoom with three packages of Pro, Business and Enterprise, allowing users to hold continuous meetings and lectures of up to 24 hours without interruption or impacts on the quality of online conference. In addition, Zoom allows users to extract data and share contents; enables participants to interact on the sharing screen; identify and prioritize speakers; automatically recognize voices and switch between languages; archive meeting contents, etc.

Also, with extensive features like Zoom Room, Zoom Connector or Webinar, businesses or schools can maintain meetings/classes even if the initiator loses Internet connection, allowing strong connection to other video conferencing systems or organization of conferences with up to 10,000 audiences and 100 interactive video participants. In addition to the packages mentioned above, CMS is committed to provide utmost support to users, from guidelines to install and use the product, to technical supports throughout its life cycle.

Currently, the cloud-based Zoom with modern, full-spectrum features are becoming quite popular all over the world. In the first 3 months of 2020 only, the use of Zoom has increased by 67% due to schools, organizations and businesses adopting this platform for working, meetings and distance training to cope with the Coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to Zoom, many businesses and organizations have overcome the barriers of distance with strong connection, helping them to work smoothly and cut costs to the maximum. This is not only a temporary solution during the crisis, but also the inevitable trend of organizations, businesses and training centers in the era of Industry 4.0.
