And we\u2019re well aware that our partners are experts in their customers\u2019 needs and verticals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Channel Harmony combines that insight with RingCentral\u2019s industry-leading UCaaS and CCaaS products and knowledge. This is key to both partner and customer success, which in turn means success for RingCentral. In other words, <\/span><b>we all win together<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014and everyone gets compensated accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is and always has been a people business. It\u2019s about the partnership\u2014the full scope of our relationship and the work we do together\u2014which is bigger than any single deal or quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><strong><a id=\"channel\"><\/a>Channel Harmony awards and recognitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both RingCentral Partners and the channel community at large have recognized the power of Channel Harmony, and we have the trophies to prove it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To me, these awards are not so much a notch in RingCentral\u2019s belt, but instead highlight how the Channel Harmony model strives to serve partners\u2019 needs first, letting success follow suit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Partner Programs Guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51918\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Five-Star-PPG-social_v01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off is a major recognition of the power of Channel Harmony, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crn.com\/slide-shows\/networking\/2022-partner-program-guide-5-star-networking-and-unified-communications-vendor-programs\/25\"><b>a five-star rating in CRN\u2019s Partner Program Guide<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The 5-star rating is achieved only by select vendors that deliver the best of the best, going above and beyond with their partner programs to help push growth and positive change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2022 marks the seventh year in a row that RingCentral has earned five stars in the CRN Partner Programs Guide, making us the only pure-cloud UC+CC provider that can boast such a feat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. ARN Innovation in Collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia\u2019s voice of the IT Channel, ARN, acknowledged RingCentral\u2019s channel prowess and the effects of Channel Harmony on partnerships with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arnnet.com.au\/article\/693698\/arn-innovation-awards-2021-winners\/?pp=2\"><b>Innovation in Collaboration award<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to putting partners first, this award showcases how Channel Harmony is the best at working with the channel to serve their needs and those of their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Circle of Excellence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While everything we do is always a team effort, myself and the partner leadership team were also honored with several awards from around the channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These rewards recognize individuals in their scope. But in my mind, they\u2019re just as much of a reinforcement of the power of Channel Harmony as a whole. And, at the heart of it, it all comes back to the relationships we have with our channel partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-text-break-point-large\">\n<p class=\"quote-text\">&#8220;Our channel community is a key part of our growth and success, and we are grateful for their partnership in helping customers around the world achieve new heights by moving to our cloud communications solutions.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"quote-text-author\">Carson Hostetter, Chief Revenue Officer at RingCentral<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Channel Future\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelfutures.com\/industry-honors\/channel-futures-2021-circle-of-excellence-announced\"><b>Circle of Excellence<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a peer-to-peer award that recognizes channel leaders and their programs who create noticeable value for their customers. In 2021, I secured my third appearance in the Circle of Excellence, and I couldn\u2019t have done it without all of our partners as well as my top-notch team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Women of the Channel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next is CRN\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crn.com\/rankings-and-lists\/wotc2021-details.htm?w=378\"><b>Women of the Channel award<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which recognized Wendy Harmon in their most recent edition for the second year in a row.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women of the Channel identifies women whose vision and drive has a major impact on partners, and Wendy\u2019s passion for people\u2014both inside and out of RingCentral\u2014is changing the game for our partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.
