It\u2019s inevitable, because for each vendor, you have to go through multiple processes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contract negotiation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contract management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onboarding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance monitoring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a lot of managing! But if you reduce the number of accounts you maintain, you reduce the workload. With a single vendor, you will still have to perform all these management functions of course, but only once \u2013 saving you a lot of time and money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"productivity\"><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><b>Improved productivity<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adopting a unified communications platform, you can prevent employees having to switch between accounts and apps all day.

Cloud-based communication solutions benefit from regular updates, upgrades and maintenance, all of which keep things secure. If you\u2019re managing multiple on-premises systems with different vendors, upgrades and patches will inevitably be slower, potentially leaving you more vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral guarantees 99.999% uptime \u2013 which keeps you connected during outages and disasters \u00ad\u2013 with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/blog\/what-is-end-to-end-encryption\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">end-to-end encryption<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and seven layers of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/trust-centre.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"scalability\"><b>6.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><b>Increased scalability<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27050 size-full\" src=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Scalability.gif\" alt=\"Scalability\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, businesses outgrow their current systems and providers because they can\u2019t easily accommodate more users or services. However, when you choose to partner with a single, established cloud communications provider, they can offer a scalable solution that grows with your business. You won\u2019t need to hire new technicians, install new software, or change equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better still, that vendor already knows your unique business needs inside out. So rather than having to re-explain your requirements and constraints every time you need to scale, you can skip this and just get on with accessing the resources you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With RingCentral\u2019s cloud-based solution, you won\u2019t be limited by server space or a lack of bandwidth, so you can add new products or services without a hitch.

Having just one provider will mean it\u2019s easier to contact them when you need support or advice, so you\u2019ll get answers faster. You won\u2019t waste time logging and chasing multiple tickets or enquiries with different companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With RingCentral, you\u2019ll have an account manager who makes sure you\u2019re getting the most out of your service, as well as access to 24\/7 support by phone, chat, and email.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"vendor\"><b>RingCentral: your single-solution vendor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your company can realise all these benefits and more, by switching to one cloud communications vendor.
