New integration simplifies identity and access management for IT,
supporting secure user access to RingCentral’s UCaaS cloud solutions
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RingCentral,
Inc., (NYSE:RNG) a leading provider of enterprise cloud
communications and collaboration solutions, and Okta,
the leading provider of identity and device management for the cloud and
mobile enterprises, today announced a partnership and product
integration for RingCentral and Okta customers.
In order for organizations to stay ahead of their competition, they need
their employees to perform smarter, faster and more productively.
Achieving that goal requires secure digital connections to communication
and collaboration platforms that turn knowledge into action by enabling
employees to work anywhere, anytime on any device.
The RingCentral and Okta integration makes it seamless for IT to
administer provisioning, while allowing users to use Single Sign-on to
securely access RingCentral’s solution, regardless of device or their
location. RingCentral and Okta will market the new integration to their
respective install base and new customers.
“The partnership with Okta is a win-win for our customers to address the
challenge of mobility, security, and workforce productivity as
enterprises shift to the cloud,” said José Pastor, Vice President of
Product Management at RingCentral. “This integration facilitates
seamless provisioning of RingCentral’s solution across an organization,
links RingCentral phone numbers to Active Directory, and simplifies user
login with Okta’s identity management and Single Sign-on capabilities.”
“Our mission is to improve the connections between people and technology
to make companies more productive and secure, ultimately empowering them
to move faster and grow revenue,” said Chuck Fontana, Vice President of
Alliances and Corporate Development at Okta. “Our partnership and
integration with RingCentral provides our joint customers with access to
RingCentral via Single Sign-on, and gives IT the ability to provision
and de-provision users. Together we offer a pre-integrated solution to
customers so they can connect and collaborate in a secure and easy way,
enabling them to drive their business forward.”
Okta provides seamless and secure access to applications across the
enterprise. The integration with RingCentral offers the following
benefits:
-
Single Sign-on: Solves the challenge of end-users needing to
remember a myriad of passwords, while giving them the ability to log
into RingCentral from any device and any location.
-
Automatically maps RingCentral phone numbers to Active Directory: IT
admins can use Active Directory and LDAP directories to map with
RingCentral phone numbers. IT admins do not need to modify or
compromise their corporate firewall, to centrally manage end-user
identities.
-
Leverages Active Directory and Google Apps Directory: Enables
user-level accountability and monitoring with the same credentials for
internal applications via Active Directory. IT can automatically
export RingCentral phone numbers and extensions to Active Directory.
“As an early customer of the RingCentral and Okta integration, we have
been thrilled with the seamless access the combined solution has
provided our organization,” said Jim Lyle, IT Infrastructure Engineer,
Video Equipment Rental. “Our employees benefit from easy access
to RingCentral—resulting in greater productivity and easier
