How to Successfully Complete the Intake Questionnaire

Completing the intake questionnaire is one of the most important responsibilities of the POC. Because this information directly impacts system configuration, hardware distribution, and call routing, it is essential that responses are as accurate and complete as possible.

To make this process more manageable, POCs are strongly encouraged to leverage existing team communication channels rather than gathering all information independently.

Recommended Approach

  1. Collaborate with Leadership: Work with your department leadership to confirm staffing needs, shared lines, and operational workflows.
  2. Use a Team Meetings: Leverage an upcoming staff meeting(s) to review departmental lines, hardware needs, and call handling. This helps gather input efficiently and ensures alignment.
  3. Follow Up as Needed: Reach out individually for role-specific details such as feature needs (SMS, international calling) or hardware preferences.

Subject: Action Required: Zoom Phone Transition & Information Request

Hi Team,

The University of West Florida is transitioning from its current phone system to Zoom Phone. This upgrade will provide a more flexible, modern communication experience by allowing you to make and receive calls directly through the Zoom Workplace app on your computer or mobile device.

What This Means for You

Our department will be adopting a “soft phone” approach, meaning most users will no longer use a traditional desk phone. Instead, calls will be handled through Zoom using a headset connected to your computer.

Each user is eligible for one funded device (typically a headset), and traditional desk phones will only be provided in limited cases where there is a clear business need (e.g., shared spaces, reception areas, or specific operational requirements).

Information Needed

To ensure a smooth transition, I need a few details from each of you. Please review and reply with the following information:

  • Office Location: Please include your current building & room number
  • Phone Number: (Keep, Delete, or Change)
  • Hardware Needs:
    • No Hardware Needed
    • Wireless Headset (Bluetooth) without adapter
    • Wireless Headset (Bluetooth) with adapter
    • Physical Desk Phone (requires business justification)
  • Enable SMS/Text Messaging on Zoom: Yes or No
  • International Calling Needed: Yes or No
  • Full Voicemail Transcription: Yes or No

If you select a Physical Desk Phone, please include a brief business justification explaining why a Zoom (soft phone) solution will not meet your needs.

Timeline

Please send your responses by [INSERT DEADLINE] to help us stay on track with the migration timeline.

If you’re unsure about any of the options, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to help.
