Annual guide recognizes the channel’s top partner programs
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RingCentral,
Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of enterprise cloud
communications and collaboration solutions, today announced that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has given RingCentral a 5-Star rating in its 2017
Partner Program Guide for the second consecutive year. This annual guide
is the definitive listing of partner programs from technology vendors
that provide products and services 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 2017 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company’s research
team assessed each vendor’s partner program based on investments in
program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education
and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and
communication.
Over the past year, RingCentral has added more than 20 new key partners
to its Partner Program, including Carousel Industries, Intelisys, and
Avant. In addition, the company has extended its global channel reach
with the addition of Google Premier partners, such as Agosto,
Cloudbakers, Dito, Devoteam G Cloud, Cloud Technology Solutions and
Netpremacy. As large enterprises increasingly shift their communications
away from legacy on-premise communications systems to the cloud,
RingCentral is enabling channel partners with the tools and resources
they need to effectively support their business customers.
“For solution providers, finding the right technology vendors to partner
with is crucial to the health of their business, and the vast array of
choices can be overwhelming,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel
Company. “Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star ratings help them
narrow the field, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and
outlining their strengths and benefits.”
"We are honored to be recognized for the second year in a row by The
Channel Company for our Partner Program,” said Lisa Del Real, senior
director of channel programs and operations at RingCentral. “We take
great pride in having built an impactful program that empowers channel
partners to help their business customers achieve greater business
success. We believe that by rewarding and championing our partners we
drive toward achieving mutual goals -- revenue and satisfied customers.”
The 2017 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of
CRN and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
