Discover why GSU students, faculty, and staff are switching to Zoom-Enhanced Collaborative Meeting Experience for superior online collaboration and connectivity.

Why GSU is Upgrading to Zoom

At Georgia State University (GSU), effective communication is the backbone of academic and administrative success. With the rise of remote and hybrid work models, the demand for reliable and feature-rich online meeting platforms has never been higher. Previously, GSU relied on Webex for its online meetings, but many are now making the switch to Zoom. Why? Let’s dive in.

Webex vs. Zoom: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Ease of Use

Webex offers a comprehensive set of tools but can be a bit overwhelming for new users. The interface has a learning curve, especially for those not tech-savvy.

Zoom, on the other hand, is renowned for its user-friendly interface. Scheduling and joining meetings is straightforward, making it accessible for everyone at GSU.

Features and Functionality

Webex provides robust security features and integrates well with other Cisco products. It’s a solid choice for enterprises that prioritize security.

Zoom not only matches these security protocols but also introduces innovative features like the AI-Driven Meeting Assistant. This tool can take notes, manage meeting times, and summarize discussions, enhancing productivity during meetings.

Collaboration Tools

While Webex offers whiteboarding and breakout rooms, Zoom takes collaboration to the next level with its Interactive Whiteboarding Tools. These tools allow participants to brainstorm visually, making group projects and class discussions more engaging and effective.

Language and Accessibility

Webex supports multiple languages, but the translation services are not always seamless.

Zoom excels here with its Real-time Language Translation feature, breaking down language barriers and fostering a more inclusive environment for international students and faculty.

Why Zoom Stands Out at GSU

AI-Driven Meeting Assistant

Imagine having a smart assistant during your meetings that handles note-taking, tracks action items, and ensures that every meeting runs smoothly. That’s what Zoom’s AI-Driven Meeting Assistant brings to the table. It’s like having a personal secretary, allowing you to focus on the discussion without worrying about missing important details.

Seamless Application Integration

Zoom integrates effortlessly with the tools you already use, like Google Drive, Microsoft Office, and Dropbox. This seamless integration means you can access and share documents without switching platforms, streamlining your workflow.

Strong Security Protocols

Security is a top priority at GSU. Zoom ensures that all meetings are protected with end-to-end encryption, safeguarding your conversations and data against unauthorized access.

Real Stories from GSU Community

“Switching to Zoom has transformed my online classes. The interactive whiteboarding tools make lectures more dynamic, and the AI assistant helps me stay organized.”

Jane, a GSU Student:
“Zoom’s real-time translation has been a game-changer for group projects with international classmates. It’s made collaboration so much easier.”
