One of the most exciting things about working at RingCentral is our relentless pursuit of innovation \u2013 we\u2019re constantly working on what new ideas will truly help businesses communicate. It\u2019s great to be part of a dynamic organisation that\u2019s consistently on the forefront of driving communication technology innovation, with a massive R&amp;D team backing those efforts. It\u2019s also extremely rewarding to work with customers as they take up new technologies \u2013 not only when they succeed but also to understand what they feed back to drive us to improve.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"cta-banner  CID-2FdM5dTp IID-69d004069db38\"\r\n\t\tdata-dl-custom-type=\"ctaButton\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-banner-img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-banner-img\" style=\"background-image:url(\/gb\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ucaas-component-digital-transformation-300x200.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-body\" data-dl-custom-type=\"ctaButton\">\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"cta-sub-heading\">Complete business communications system<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"cta-heading\">Find out more about RingCentral solutions<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t<p>Call management, conferencing, HD video meetings, and team messaging in one collaborative solution.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"rc-cta-shortcode btn btn-primary btn-lg\" data-dl-element=\"button\"\r\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/\" class=\"btn btn-primary\"\r\n\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-dl-additional-info=\"Find out more about RingCentral solutions\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-dl-name=\"Find out more about RingCentral solutions | Learn more\">Learn more<\/a>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<h2><b>In what ways has business communications changed over your career?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve worked in the Business and Cloud Communications space for over a decade, and right now is the period of strongest growth I have seen across that time. It seems like we\u2019ve hit the perfect storm of conditions to enable Cloud Communications products to succeed: business and consumer access networks have become high grade and high bandwidth, mobile technology is ubiquitous, cloud architecture has become commonplace and well accepted. Over my career, Cloud Communications have gone from being a viable contender to the first-choice option. We have also started to see the decline of the largest legacy communication providers, further strengthening that position \u2013 as RingCentral are fond of saying \u2013 \u201cThe Cloud is Winning.
