If zoom remains independent, they have a lot of catching up to do with their chat functionality, and other productivity tools to become a meaningful offer.

Julie Cullivan - doesn't "best in class app" but costs money, lose to "it works" but is free from an enterprise POV?

Zoom’s future as a platform is a big and important next phase and why it is exciting. It’s got room to grow on it’s own but the best fit listed here is Salesforce. Seeing what they’ve done with recent acquisitions it would be the best place for Zoom to continue.<br><br>Microsoft is obviously talking about Teams as a platform so one might suspect that would be a fit, but their real platform is SharePoint that has the gravity to pull all into and burn/scar.
