Tight Integration Strategy

For businesses with traditional phone systems migrating to move the cloud, RingCentral’s plug-n-play enabled conference phones can be seamlessly implemented by users even without any technical expertise. All it needs is an internet connection, and RingCentral’s support team is on call round the clock, ready to offer complete setup guidance. Another exciting feature is the RingCentral phone app that enables businesses to use and manage the phone system from anywhere while keeping the existing business number active, change call handling rules and access messages in just a few taps.

While building a strong relationship with colleagues and customers, IT administrators can always ensure consistent and excellent user experience. RingCentral Office integrates with other business apps including Salesforce, MS Office, DropBox, and Google Cloud. Moreover, as required, businesses can build custom integrations with RingCentral’s open APIs. RingCentral recently introduced several new tools for enterprises, including a widget for adding RingCentral integrations to CRM and additional help desk applications. The new RingCentral Embeddable widget enables customers to add RingCentral-powered cloud calling and SMS messaging into most of the third-party business applications, without building any links manually.

The new feature dramatically reduces the time from months to weeks for creating RingCentral integration.

Adding Value with Centralized Communication

RingCentral is also the first to deliver complete setup management and access of an entire phone system from a smartphone or tablet with the RingCentral mobile application. The solution’s presence capability allows colleagues to see if a user is on a call. With one-click conferencing, the hosts can easily join the conference and invite participants using text messaging.

Over the years, RingCentral has been a valued partner to some of the leading businesses across the globe. An instance that explains the value proposition of RingCentral is when the company assisted Naked Wines, an international customer-funded wine business, with cloud business communications solution. Naked Wines was looking for a system that would allow them to start up quickly, connect multiple locations, and work with their own customer relationship management system. With RingCentral’s cloud-based solution, Naked Wines’ teams were able to connect its office in the United Kingdom to handle overflow calls from the United States so that customers can always speak to a person instead of a machine. As a result of using RingCentral, Naked Wines didn’t have to worry about the scalability and growth of its business not being able to keep up with the phone system. RingCentral’s solution also allowed Naked Wines to build the business quickly, open new offices, and grow the telephone system exponentially and easily without any troubles.

Redefining the Future of Communication

The company’s history traces back to the early ‘90s, when Shmunis started Ring Zero Systems. In its early days, Ring Zero’s focus was on cutting the previously forbidding costs of telecommunications services for small businesses. Later, Motorola acquired the company for double-digit millions before deciding to focus exclusively on mobile platforms, and then Shmunis laid the foundation of RingCentral.

Today, RingCentral leverages the cloud to bring freedom, innovation, and seamless connectivity to business phone systems. The company also recently announced extensions to its API library with new e-discovery and message-retention APIs that provides developers direct access to communication information related to voice, text message, and fax.

With RingCentral, every business can experience the power of innovation and flexibility with modern communication solutions. They can set up as quick, taking only minutes, instead of weeks, and connect all devices to the company’s phone system with ease. Moreover, transferring essential contacts and information to the new phone system is as simple as copying it, and RingCentral’s dedicated implementation team is there to ensure a smooth and seamless onboarding to its customers. In the coming years, RingCentral envisions expanding its product portfolio while enhancing communication capabilities.
