market
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RingCentral,
Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of cloud business communication
and collaboration solutions, announced today that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has given RingCentral’s Partner Program a 5-Star
rating in its 2016
Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is the definitive listing
of technology vendors that service solution providers, or provide
products through the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program Guide rating
recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers
the best partnering elements in their channel programs.
To determine the 2016 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company’s research
team assessed each vendor’s application based on investments in program
offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and
support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and
communication.
RingCentral works with world-class distributors, master agents, and
carrier partners to bring cloud business communication and collaboration
solutions to enterprises around the world. Delivered on a
state-of-the-art cloud platform, RingCentral solutions deliver
voice, video, conferencing, messaging, team collaboration and contact
center solutions into a seamless experience. Easier to manage and more
flexible and cost-efficient than legacy, on-premise communications
systems, RingCentral’s cloud solutions meet the needs of modern
distributed and mobile workforces.
“Solution providers have more choices than ever before when it comes to
selecting vendor partners,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel
Company. “Identifying the right vendor with the right technologies and
the right channel approach can mean the difference between successful
adoption of a new technology or business model and an awkward,
unnecessarily difficult integration. Our annual Partner Program Guide
and 5-Star ratings recognize the best channel programs available in the
market today and serve as a valuable resource for solution providers
looking for the right fit.”
“We’re honored to be recognized by CRN as one of the leading channel
programs,” said Zane Long, Vice President of Channel Sales at
RingCentral. “RingCentral invests heavily in the channel and understands
the value that partners bring to customers. This year, we’re focusing on
taking this program to the next level, making our partners collaborative
stakeholders in the success of our joint customers, and bolstering our
global presence to meet the needs of the modern enterprise.”
