Annual guide recognizes the IT channel’s top partner programs
BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RingCentral,
Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud
communications, collaboration, and contact center solutions, today
announced that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has given RingCentral a 5-Star rating in its 2019
Partner Program Guide. This annual guide identifies the strongest and
most successful partner programs in the channel today, offered by the
top technology suppliers for IT products and services. The 5-Star rating
recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers
the best partnering elements in their channel programs.
To determine the 2019 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company’s research
team assessed each supplier’s partner program based on investments in
program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education
and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and
communication.
RingCentral established its partner program with the goal of making it
as simple as possible for partners to conduct business with RingCentral.
With more than 9,000 partners enrolled in the program worldwide across
the US, Canada, UK, and EMEA, the program supports partner sales with
channel managers, subject-matter experts, a dedicated partner support
line, partner portal, and operations support. Additionally, RingCentral’s
Channel Harmony®: One to Infinity program
eliminates conflict between direct sales and partners, and is recognized
as a big differentiator in the industry.
“With new technologies emerging every year, evaluating which IT vendors
to partner with grows increasingly more complex for solution providers,”
said Bob Skelley, CEO, The Channel Company. “We are proud the CRN
Partner Program Guide has become the trusted resource to identify the
most rewarding partner programs and provides crucial insight into their
strengths and benefits for the channel.”
“We’re focused on identifying new and innovative ways to enhance our
channel program with the goal of driving partner success and customer
satisfaction,” says Lisa Del Real, VP of global channel programs and
operations, RingCentral. “Our dedication to our partners’ success has
helped shape RingCentral’s award-winning partner program, and I’m
confident this momentum will carry forward in 2019. We’re honored to be
recognized for the fourth year in a row by The Channel Company for our
continued innovation on the RingCentral Partner Program.”
The 2019 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of
CRN and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
