RingCentral Launches Cloud Business Communications Solution in
UK
San Mateo, Calif. –
October 28, 2013 – RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading
provider of cloud business communications solutions, today announced
the launch of RingCentral Office in the UK. RingCentral Office is
designed for today’s distributed workforce and connects staff on their
smartphones, tablets and desktop phones, wherever they are, in the
office, at home or while travelling.
With over 300,000
businesses using its cloud platform, RingCentral is disrupting the
communications landscape. The cloud-based phone system is easy to
buy, manage and use enables businesses to optimize calls, fax, and
conferencing, while seamlessly integrating with other cloud solutions
like salesforce.com, Box, Dropbox, and Google.
“Communication is the life-blood of businesses, but outdated
on-premise phone systems were not designed for the new world of work.
Staff don’t work a traditional 9am to 5pm day tied to a office desk
anymore” said Vlad Shmunis, CEO, Founder and Chairman of the Board at
RingCentral. “Today, customers expect instant communication and
personalized customer service, while employees need the flexibility to
use communication devices of their choice from any location they
choose to work. At RingCentral, we aim to make enterprise
functionality available to businesses of all sizes and give them a
competitive edge by providing the tools for seamless
communications.”
Research from IDC has found that 86 per
cent of companies have mobile workers and a recent survey from YouGov
claims that 93% of the British workforce work from home for part of
the week.
With the rise of the Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD), the RingCentral mobile app turns smartphones and tablets into
fully functional business communication devices. With no capital
equipment or hardware maintenance costs, the all-inclusive monthly
pricing plan gives businesses the benefit of low, predictable
costs.
Companies like Fargo Systems, a supplier of
specialised transport and logistics software, is using RingCentral to
improve customer communications and link three of its depots to a
single cloud phone system. Thanks to RingCentral’s solution, the
company is able to better manage flexible working, with staff taking
advantage of the voicemail to email functionality while travelling.
The company is also improving customer service with the ability for
its consultants to promptly answer and route calls from 1200 users in
15 countries.
