“As a company, RingCentral has been masterful in growing its share through strategic partnerships. While its deal with Avaya was highly publicized, it also has a number of service providers that private label RingEX. These include AT&T in the U.S., BT in the U.K., and Telus in Canada. In each of these cases, RingCentral gave its partner a rock-solid, stable, and proven cloud platform enabling them not just to catch up to the competition but also, in many cases, have a superior offering.”
