Meet Dave

Dave Kester is the IT Director for GableGotwals, a law firm with more than 150 attorneys and three locations in Oklahoma and Texas.
With multiple offices to manage, a flexible remote work policy with staff members working from anywhere, and the need to make everything as seamless as possible at the highest levels of security and professionalism, Dave was looking for ways to make his job easier.
Legacy solutions required hands-on troubleshooting

Before switching to Zoom, Dave and his team were often called into the office’s legacy conference rooms to assist attorneys with starting video meetings or sorting out which cables to plug in.

The Zoom platform was easier for everyone to use

“My Zoom journey started with simply consolidating individual Zoom accounts,” said Dave. “We were looking for a solution that was easy. Something that could integrate with the phones, the conference rooms…we needed that one-touch, easy, simple solution.”

Now, he spends much less time troubleshooting

“Zoom really got our IT department out of the business of meetings,” said Dave. “Everybody knows what a Zoom Room is, and they know how to join a Zoom Meeting. That’s where I started. Now, all of our conference rooms are Zoom Rooms. We use Zoom Phone, the mobile app, the desktop app.”
With the firm better able to self-serve thanks to an easy-to-use, single solution, Dave and his team can now focus on larger projects.
