Maintaining that excellence? Even harder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today I\u2019m especially happy to share that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/partner\/agent.html\">RingCentral Reach\u2122 Partner Program<\/a> was awarded <\/span><b>five stars in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crn.com\/ppg\">CRN Partner Program Guide<\/a> for the TENTH year in a row!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a decade of providing the best possible support for our channel partners. A decade of making sure we go the extra mile to make their experience as smooth as possible. And a decade of recruiting and developing the best people to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This legacy of excellence predates my time here at RingCentral, but it\u2019s one I\u2019m happy to carry on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do we consistently deliver on this high standard? For me, it comes down to three things: <\/span><b>product, program, and people.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h3\"><b><a id=\"product\"><\/a>Product<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, it all starts with the technology, built on RingCentral\u2019s history of innovation that dates back 25+ years. It helps when your partners can offer the best cloud communications solutions on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, RingCentral has always been a leader in unified communications, with a track record of rock-solid voice telephony. More recently, with the addition of RingCX, partners can now offer a native contact center platform that is easy to use and deploy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And with AI now infused across the entire RingCentral portfolio, partners can lead the conversation around these technologies and the benefits they bring to the table. Data is the fuel for AI, and voice is the richest and most human form of data. With RingCentral, partners can help customers harness the voice of their business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h3\"><b><a id=\"program\"><\/a>Program<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting-edge products are a great start, but we also need to ensure partners can bring them to market seamlessly. That\u2019s where the RingCentral Reach Partner Program really shines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We always strive to give partners the freedom and flexibility to meet their customized business needs. For each individual deal, partners can choose between our two complimentary sales models. With Channel Harmony\u2122, all parties are ensured full compensation, so a partner can lean on our sales experts free from any channel conflict. Or, the partner can fully own the entire sales process independent of RingCentral while enjoying extra residuals through IGNITE!\u2122.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, RingCentral is renowned for its world-class partner events, particularly our <a href=\"https:\/\/info.ringcentral.com\/MDc1LURUQi03MTUAAAGXVbICHn-X6Oxq4mmiJvDUrLNj8QQzAEmgpgE75XL6PHQqC6H-QNmFKwKzN9qCqokQcb8BxEY=\">RingCentral Connect series<\/a>.
