Upgrading communications at a fast-growing, global company
Based in Silicon Valley, Medallia has offices in New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney, Buenos Aires, and Tel Aviv, and continues to expand. When Bryson and the IT team decided to upgrade Medallia’s communications system, they knew they needed a system that could keep up with the company’s quickly growing global presence.
Bryson’s goal was to implement a single global provider that would equip all Medallia locations with a standard set of communications functionality and a consistent user experience. He also wanted to ensure that the solution would maintain necessary bandwidth as the company continues to scale. With those requirements in mind, he chose RingCentral’s unified communications as a service (UCaaS) platform.
“We are growing at a very rapid pace and needed a solution that would grow with us. RingCentral’s platform is simple and eliminates all the hassle of on-prem systems, such as POTS ordering and sizing per country contracts, allowing our team to focus on more critical activity,” says Bryson.
The functionality is not limited to Medallia employees who only work in-office. “RingCentral lets any Medallian be a part of the office
communications system, whether they work in one of our offices, at home, or remotely. This enables us to maintain the flexibility that is a core part of our culture,” continues Bryson. Medallia uses other RingCentral functionality, including Global RingEX™ for international branch offices, RingEX™ for face-to-face online collaboration, and RingCentral integrations with Okta.
Medallia uses RingCentral for Okta for identity and access management. This lets users access RingCentral in a secure fashion, automatically provision RingCentral phone numbers, and link employees’ contact information to Medallia’s active directory.
Medallia is also in beta with RingCentral Direct Connect, a new managed service that provides a dedicated and private MPLS network connection between a company’s network service provider and RingCentral.
“Moving to the cloud required us to assure call and meeting quality,” Bryson explains. “With Direct Connect, we have guaranteed bandwidth, guaranteed service.”
With Direct Connect, we have guaranteed bandwidth, guaranteed service.
