His relentless focus on innovation is an integral part of the culture at RingCentral. In my role of EVP of Innovation, I\u2019m always looking at how we can continue to build on our strong record of innovation, to stay at the forefront of the innovation curve for product development, and stay in the leader position in what is quickly becoming a crowded marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, two years ago, we announced the launch of our <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.ringcentral.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral Connect Platform<\/a>\u2122, giving developers access to the tools they needed to build custom or out-of-the-box integrations with RingCentral to add powerful collaborative communications capabilities to business applications. I would like to share some new milestones we\u2019ve achieved that illustrate the amazing traction we&#8217;re seeing with our platform:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100+ partner-built integrations<\/li>\n<li>9 million API calls a day<\/li>\n<li>200% annual increase in platform usage<\/li>\n<li>5,000+ developers in the Connect Platform <a href=\"https:\/\/devcommunity.ringcentral.com\/ringcentraldev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">community<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;re not stopping there, and this is why I\u2019m excited to share with you our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/partner\/isvreseller.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connect Platform Partner Program<\/a> announcement we made today. We\u2019re adding more structure and unity to the program.

And we\u2019re adding additional benefits and resources for developers and the go-to-market program offerings.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to expand on the foundation we laid two years ago when we debuted the Connect Platform, and we will continue to welcome the countless newcomers who are accelerating the adoption of collaborative communications to deliver a unified experience to all users in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>RingCentral was one of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/unified-communications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UCaaS<\/a> vendors to launch a platform with open APIs.
