Remember overpriced popcorn at the movie theatre? I\u2019d pay what some would consider an irresponsible amount of money for a tub of those yellow clouds of pure joy right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, being the adaptable species we are, we\u2019ve found ways to juggle remote working, virtual classrooms, virtual happy hours, and drive-by birthday trains. Are those still a thing? The point is everything we do now is different. The way we connect with friends, with family, with co-workers, and with our community is different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>The new work-from-home normal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current state of our world has revealed so many things to us. Perhaps the most obvious of them is our need to communicate. More than that, it\u2019s shown us just how flexible our communications systems need to be to return some sense of normalcy to our daily lives. Every day, we hear truly remarkable stories about how companies, often with no notice, had to have their entire staff work from home virtually overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some say that every network is a beautiful snowflake. It\u2019s unique. Now, IT teams are suddenly in charge of hundreds of home networks (ugly snowflakes) instead of just the thing of beauty they had been carefully crafting for the better part of a decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the initial shock of the immediate shift to working from home, we began to realize that maybe our teams weren\u2019t equipped with everything they needed to communicate effectively in this new world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At many companies, some employees went rogue and adopted various video conferencing or other collaboration platforms in an effort to get what they needed. Others wrote daily to remind IT of their current technology limitations. Meanwhile, IT is expected to keep everything working in perfect order, all with aging gear that\u2019s been meeting some\u2014but not all\u2014of your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So where do we go from here?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We go forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Technologies to support the future<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forward means <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/how-it-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a single communication platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can meet all of the incredibly complex needs of the 2020 professional work environment. And not just for end users (although we\u2019d bet that even Douglas would be happy for once) but for the IT staff, sales leadership, and perhaps most importantly, for the CFO and the bottom line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forward means a financially backed 99.999% uptime SLA. RingCentral understands that right now every <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/teams\/overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">message<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, every <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video meeting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and every <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/solutions\/office\/call.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phone call<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are critical. They need to work\u2014every time, period. We also understand that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/documents\/connected_workplace.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">application overload<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your employees is a problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too many separate apps for communication and collaboration actually hurts productivity because your employees spend too much time toggling between apps. And that\u2019s also a problem for those who support your employees. It\u2019s why we enable users with messaging, video, and phone all in one application. Even better, it\u2019s all managed from one place. So if employees have questions, there\u2019s only one number to call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also understand that IT teams are already working overtime, and a switch to a new cloud-based communication system is intimidating (not to mention potentially time consuming). That is why our professional services team is composed of professionals with years of experience with just about every on-premise system out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have an intimate knowledge of what works (and what doesn\u2019t) relative to those platforms, and how to successfully migrate you and all of your end users to the cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does forward look like for you? We would love the opportunity to help get you there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like our personal lives, our professional lives are practically unrecognizable from just six months ago.
