What is Workvivo by Zoom
Workvivo is a company focused on simplifying messaging within companies, offering employees a complete experience. It is a productivity suite where employees can be in contact with co-workers, workers from other departments and also external people with whom they develop a professional relationship.
It is what is known as a “User Experience Platform (EXP)”, an “all-in-one” application for an organization’s employees that combines internal communication tools, interaction, recognition and analytical functionalities.
It could be understood as a version 2.0 of a corporate intranet, with social and communicative tools. In Workvivo each employee has their own profile, they can follow other profiles and publish content in their update feed. The visual aspect of the platform is very similar to that of social networks like Facebook.
Zoom – the popular video call communications tool – acquired Workvivo in 2023 and has since worked to integrate all its capabilities and functionalities into the current Zoom platform.
How to use Workvivo by Zoom: Pricing plans
Workvivo can be downloaded directly from the Zoom app marketplace. All features can be used both from the web and through its apps for Android and iPhone mobile phones.
Of course, it is a payment tool, the amount of which varies depending on the corporation and the number of employees who will have access to the platform.
There are two plans:
-Business Plan (for companies with 100 to 2,000 employees) that has access to all communication tools, digital work space, interaction tools, analytics…
-Enterprise Plan (for companies with more than 2,000 employees) that includes additional functionalities such as having a corporate account manager to resolve any incident that may arise, dedicated customer service, streaming capacity and unlimited storage…
In both cases, it is necessary to contact a Workvivo by Zoom commercial agent through their website to receive a personalized quote.
