"Zoom is committed to making the communication and collaboration experience as seamless as possible," said Eric Yuan, Founder and CEO of Zoom. "With so many Salesforce users with their own customers spread across geographies, it is critical that they have the communications tools they need to conduct and grow their businesses readily available in the platform they use a substantial amount of the time." Other recent Zoom integrations include allowing users of Slack's real-time messaging, archiving, and search platform to start Zoom video conferencing from the Slack interface with a single command. Integrations with companies like Logitech and Zapier have also been made in the effort to provide businesses with the tools they need to keep up with the needs of dispersed yet connected workers. The Salesforce integration is currently available for Zoom customers, who can learn more by contacting their sales representative. More at https://zoom.us/contactsales
