\"business<\/a>It should come as no surprise when we say the way people communicate has gone through a dramatic shift over the past few years. Messaging applications like iMessage, WhatsApp, Line, and WeChat have all set a new standard in the consumer world. In the business world, group messaging applications have emerged, such as Asana, HipChat, and Slack, which have brought teams together to message one another, complete tasks and get work done.<\/p>\n

Recently, RingCentral\u00a0discussed the next chapter in business communications and collaboration through its\u00a0acquisition of\u00a0Glip<\/a>. For those of you not familiar with\u00a0Glip<\/a>, it’s a team\u00a0messaging and collaboration software-as-a-service for\u00a0business\u00a0that works across desktops and mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Bringing workforces closer together and making it easy to communicate has always been the core of RingCentral’s mission. We want to give our customers the best possible business communications experience, regardless of their location or device. And we also want to support the multiple ways people want to\u00a0communicate and get their work done.<\/p>\n

It’s too often the case that collaboration is hindered by long threaded emails, fragmented conversations, different locations for documents, and different applications where messages are sent to one another. Communications and collaboration\u00a0has\u00a0become too siloed between lots of different workflows and applications, and the result is major\u00a0slippage\u00a0in productivity and work efficiency.<\/p>\n

It should be easy to quickly\u00a0flip from team chats\u00a0to a real-time phone\u00a0call, conference\u00a0call<\/a>,\u00a0or video chat<\/a>. With\u00a0our acquisition and integration\u00a0of\u00a0Glip\u00a0into RingCentral, our vision is to\u00a0lead the future of what\u00a0two\u00a0industry analysts,\u00a0Zeus Kerravala<\/a> and Dave Michels<\/a>,\u00a0are\u00a0calling\u00a0WCC (Workstream Collaboration and Communications<\/a>).\u00a0This means\u00a0transforming the way people\u00a0work in distributed and agile teams,\u00a0without the frustration and fragmentation that has hindered us through the\u00a0old ways of working.<\/p>\n

We are\u00a0really\u00a0impressed with the\u00a0Glip\u00a0product.\u00a0They’ve created a\u00a0world class\u00a0business messaging solution and mastered the complex art of tightly integrating collaboration and productivity features\u00a0including:\u00a0team calendars, file sharing<\/a>, shared\u00a0notes, image annotations\u00a0and task management. The product also has some powerful\u00a0integrations with other cloud services like Zendesk and Google Drive. Imagine as a support agent using Zendesk if you could instantly\u00a0share your work with other people in your organization without making them login to Zendesk!\u00a0 Best of all, all of this\u00a0information can be\u00a0easily searched and located in the\u00a0Glip\u00a0interface.<\/p>\n

The power behind\u00a0Glip’s\u00a0application and the notion of WCC\u00a0is\u00a0amazing. \u00a0Think about it.\u00a0Glip\u00a0ate their own\u00a0dogfood\u00a0to make\u00a0Glip\u00a0as\u00a0amazing as it is today\u00a0in less than two years which\u00a0may\u00a0have taken other companies using email more than double the time! Their work itself demonstrates the power of how the right tools can help a team be fast moving, agile, and more\u00a0collaborative.<\/p>\n

We’re just at the beginning here of a major\u00a0shift\u00a0between bridging the\u00a0traditional way of working and the\u00a0next generation of work in the cloud. Stay tuned for more updates on the new RingCentral Teams<\/a> later this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
