RingCentral Extends Award Winning Cloud Communications Solutions to
Microsoft Customers
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RingCentral,
Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of cloud business communication
and collaboration solutions, today announced it is extending RingCentral
Office capabilities with greater integration into the Microsoft
ecosystem. RingCentral will provide integrations with Microsoft Outlook
and Skype for Business. These new integrations will complement
RingCentral’s existing integration with Microsoft Office 365, and
harness the power of RingCentral’s open platform and cloud
communications solutions combined with other Microsoft productivity
applications.
“In today’s multi-vendor cloud application environment, enterprise
customers are empowered to choose best-of-breed software solutions,”
said Marco Casalaina, VP of Integrations for RingCentral. “With our open
platform, we make it easy to have a seamless experience with
RingCentral’s cloud communications capabilities embedded into many
popular business applications. Our integrations with Outlook and Skype
for Business are the latest examples of how we’re innovating and
delivering a best-of-breed experience to fulfill the needs of enterprise
customers.”
RingCentral for Outlook
For businesses that rely on email and calendar functions within Outlook
on the PC, the RingCentral integration adds robust enterprise voice
capabilities, SMS, online meetings and fax. It’s easy to set up and
start conference calls with the dial-in and online meeting link from
RingCentral automatically added to Outlook calendar entries. This makes
setting up meetings simple and convenient with conference and online
meeting dial-in details and links automatically added to a calendar
invitation. All phone numbers and meeting links displayed in emails are
also clickable, and with the built-in dial-pad it’s convenient to make
calls from within Outlook.
RingCentral for Skype for Business
Now available, RingCentral’s integration with Skype for Business is
ideal for businesses that want to support a multi-vendor communications
environment. For example, a business may want to stay with Skype for
Business for messaging, but prefers the quality, reliability and rich
cloud communication services available with RingCentral Office. Or a
business may desire to have mixed communication solutions in different
locations. The RingCentral integration allows users to call either Skype
for Business contacts or RingCentral contacts, as well as make regular
calls to any number. In addition, users can send an SMS to anyone or
easily set up a conference call or online meeting through RingCentral
Office.
“We’ve experienced first-hand the enterprise grade cloud PBX
capabilities of RingCentral,” said Wayne Lerario, sales manager for
Nutmeg Technologies, a channel partner and customer of RingCentral. “Now
with RingCentral’s Skype for Business integration, we can have the best
of both worlds, without sacrificing reliability and superior voice
quality. As an experienced technology reseller specialized in
communication services, we’re hearing from an increasing number of our
clients who want to be empowered with both Skype for Business messaging
services and RingCentral Office. It’s great to see we can address both
needs and offer a smart and simple way to do it with the new integration
from RingCentral.”
First launched in 2015, the RingCentral Connect Platform™ offers
developers a set of tools and services to build, deploy, and manage
custom integrations using a robust set of open APIs. RingCentral’s open
platform is a key differentiator among other unified communications
competitors, and has enabled RingCentral to be integrated with a number
of leading SaaS providers, including Google for Work, Microsoft, Oracle,
Salesforce, and many others. Through an open platform, RingCentral helps
enterprises achieve greater workforce productivity and efficiency.
