It’s an exhilarating and truly revolutionary time for business communications. We are witnessing the massive disruption of legacy on-premise PBX technology; team messaging and collaboration are becoming integral to working culture; and the buzz gets stronger around open platform solutions. There’s an increasing focus on customer engagement and satisfaction, and the need for global solutions that empower modern workforces is a major focus in the enterprise market.
RingCentral is a leader of cloud business communications, so we’re gearing up for a dynamic show this year at Enterprise Connect—the industry’s premier event, focused on enterprise communications and collaboration. We’ll be participating in thought-provoking panel discussions and general sessions, informative booth activities and demos on the expo floor, and we’re looking forward to hosting the RingCentral VIP party at Enterprise Connect.
