Zoom Video Communications (known simply as “Zoom”) is a U.S.-based company operating from San Jose, California that provides cloud-based video communications. Offering both cloud meeting and webinar software, Zoom is most known for Zoom Cloud Meetings, also referred to as "Zoom" by users, which combines video conferencing, online meetings, and mobile collaboration into one platform. == History == Zoom was founded in 2011 by engineers from the development teams of Cisco and its collaboration business unit, WebEx.〔 The founder of Zoom, Eric S. Yuan, graduated from the Stanford University Executive Program and was previously Vice President of engineering at Cisco where he was responsible for collaboration software development. David Berman, the current standing President of Zoom, previously held the same position atop of Worldwide Sales and Services at WebEx Communications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About Zoom: Our Team )〕 The official launch of Zoom was in January 2013 and, as of May 2013, it had reached 1 million users. During the first year of its release, Zoom has established partnerships with B2B collaboration software providers. Its partnership with Redbooth (which, at the time, was known as Teambox) played a role in adding a video component to its platform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=TechCrunch )〕 Shortly after this partnership, Zoom created a program named "Works with Zoom", which established partnerships with multiple hardware and software vendors such as Logitech, Vaddio, and InFocus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=TMCnet )〕 Towards the end of the year, Zoom managed to have its software integrated into InterviewStream, a company that provides remote video interviewing capacity to employers. On December 11, 2013, Centrify Corporation partnered with Zoom to integrate Active Directory, access control, and single sign-on (SSO) compatibility with Zoom's application to its own customers. The partnership was known as the Centrify Alliance Partner Program. By March 17, 2014, Zoom added the capability for its users to join meetings by dialing into a toll-free PTSN number via its partnership with Voxbone. The release of version 3.5 later in the year added mobile screen sharing to mobile platforms running iOS. In June 2014, Zoom's user base has grown to 10 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=How We Zoomed to 10 Million Participants )〕 As of February 2015, the user base utilizing Zoom Video Communication's chief product — Zoom Cloud Meetings — has reached 40 million individuals, with 65,000 organizations subscribed. In addition to this, the company has surpassed 1 billion total meeting minutes across its entire service lifespan. On February 4, 2015, Zoom Video Communications has received $30 million in Series C funding. Participants in this funding round include Emergence Capital, Horizons Ventures (Li Ka-shing), Qualcomm Ventures, Jerry Yang, and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. In the same year, on the 15th of September, Zoom partnered with Salesforce to integrate video conferencing into the CRM platform, allowing salespeople to initiate such conferences with their leads without leaving the application. Shortly after this integration happened, on 3 November, David Berman — former president of RingCentral — has been named president of Zoom Video Communications. Peter Gassner — the founder and CEO of Veeva Systems — joined Zoom's board of directors on the same day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zoom Video Communications」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
