Zoom Consulting in Edinburgh
Advice on conferencing for Edinburgh organisations, which usually resolves to one question: are you paying for two platforms. Most businesses already have conferencing included in their office suite, and the case for a separate paid product rests on specific needs — webinars, telephony, external participants who find it easier — rather than habit.
Why this comes up
The problem
Zoom licences renew alongside an office suite that already includes conferencing, and both are in daily use for the same purpose.
What you get
What we deliver
- Overlap identified between Zoom and what your office suite already provides
- Licence use examined, distinguishing hosts from people who only ever attend
- Webinar and telephony requirements assessed separately from meetings
- External participant experience considered, since this is a genuine argument
- Storage and recording costs reviewed, as these grow without anyone deciding
- A recommendation on consolidating, keeping both, or splitting by use

Zoom Consulting in Edinburgh — common questions
- Should we consolidate onto one platform?
- Often, and not always. Running two is a real duplicate cost, and there are legitimate reasons to keep both — webinars, a client base that expects one of them, or telephony. The question is whether the reason is specific or simply that both exist.
- Does the external participant argument hold?
- Sometimes, and less than it used to. All the major platforms now join from a browser without an install, which removed the main friction. Where your clients genuinely expect one platform it is a fair reason; where it is an assumption, it is worth testing.
- Why review storage?
- Because cloud recording accumulates silently and is charged for. Organisations recording routinely, with no retention policy, build a library that grows every month and is almost never revisited. Setting retention reduces both the bill and what a breach would expose.
- How many host licences do we need?
- Only for people who schedule meetings. Attendees need nothing, and licences assigned by default to everyone at purchase remain long after roles change. Usage reporting answers this in minutes and usually finds a meaningful number that can be released.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
