London, England — October 3 2017 — RingCentral UK, Ltd. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications and collaboration solutions, today announced that Auction Technology Group, a provider of online marketplaces headquartered in the UK, has selected RingCentral cloud communications and collaboration solution to successfully consolidate an international network of disparate service providers into a powerful single solution.

Auction Technology Group (ATG), which runs both timed online auctions and live webcast auctions, serves more than 43.5 million bidders, listing more than 7.5 million items and facilitating £2bn of transactions annually through a partner network of over 1350 auctioneers. With RingCentral, they have now unified disparate solutions into a single global solution that is easy to scale and manage.

As a growing and highly distributed international operation, ATG recognised that it needed greater flexibility and better capabilities than its disparate communications and collaboration solutions across the globe. Other key considerations included simplified management and tighter integration with their use of Zendesk, Salesforce, and Office 365 applications.

“We knew the capabilities and benefits of RingCentral would enable us to grow and support our customers better. With a portion of ATG’s employees working from home or on the road, the new system has proven valuable by offering the same level of accessibility from home and mobile devices,” says Marika Clemow, Director of Operations for ATG.

The company has taken advantage of RingCentral’s advanced call management features such as call prioritisation, recording, monitoring and queuing while simplifying administration for staff based on permission levels.

“Our customer service and client services teams handle thousands of calls each month and RingCentral delivers the reports we need to be able to identify peaks and troughs on a granular level and set KPIs,” continued Clemow. “The new system is already improving our workflows and saving us time - from receptionists to the executives, everyone is delighted with RingCentral.”

ATG will be presenting a detailed case study of the project at the upcoming IP Expo (4-5 October, ExCel London) entitled “From Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress to Global Communications: A Unified Communications Case Study with Auction Technology Group.”

London, United Kingdom, June 21, 2017 —RingCentral UK, Ltd., (NYSE:RNG), the leading provider of enterprise cloud communications and collaboration solutions, today announced that Synergy Research Group, an independent market research firm has recognised RingCentral as the #1 worldwide market share leader in both revenue and subscriber seats for Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), based on a report published on June 14, 2017.

“Major barriers to cloud adoption are now almost a thing of the past. We’re seeing continued erosion of on-premises PBX systems,” said Jeremy Duke, founder and President at Synergy Research Group. “These tailwinds are reflected in the growth we’re seeing in the overall UCaaS market, particularly with RingCentral, which has pulled ahead as the UCaaS category leader and is accelerating at a rapid pace ahead of rivals which are seeing flat to declining growth rates by revenue.”

With a 19% market share by revenue, RingCentral is growing twice as fast as the overall UCaaS market, according to Synergy Research.

Also, Synergy Research reports that RingCentral’s flagship product, RingCentral Office, is ranked the highest by subscriber seats among all UCaaS vendors, growing at 53% year-over-year, which is 137% faster than its nearest competitor.

In addition, the report highlights that cloud is winning over on-premises for business communications. Synergy Research points out that revenue for the UCaaS market grew by 22% year-over-year in Q1 2017, while the on-premises enterprise voice market declined by 9% during the same period.

“Synergy’s report validates our leadership in the market and shows that we are breaking away from the competition in both revenue and installed base,” said Vlad Shmunis, founder, chairman and CEO of RingCentral. “We’re honored to be recognised as the largest and fastest growing UCaaS provider. Our success stems from our relentless focus on innovation and our differentiated mobile-first, global, open platform collaborative communications solutions.”

Previously limited to deals of more than 50 users, RingCentral’s Channel Harmony now applies to all deals, from one to infinity.

“This program marks a new era of channel enablement, redefining the way in which partners work with direct sales organizations,” said Zane Long, vice president of global channel sales at RingCentral. “Partners are looking to deliver the most innovative solutions to their customer base, and with the launch of this game-changing program, we are enabling them with the best possible resources to be successful.

BELMONT, Calif. — March 23, 2017 — RingCentral, Inc., (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of enterprise cloud communications and collaboration solutions, today unveiled the next-generation of its flagship product RingCentral Office—an entirely reimagined user experience for collaborative-centric communications. The new offering is the industry’s first to deliver on the promise of unified communications in a single solution. It also includes new team messaging, chatbot, AI support, and 40 out-of-the-box integrations. The company will demonstrate the new version of RingCentral Office at Enterprise Connect 2017 in Orlando next week.

“RingCentral Office is the industry's leading solution that goes beyond unifying different modes of communication; it offers an all-in-one collaborative communications experience that is further enhanced by state-of-the-art chatbot and AI-based technology," said Vlad Shmunis, founder, chairman and CEO of RingCentral. “RingCentral is the only cloud provider to combine enterprise-grade telephony, audio conferencing, video, meetings, team messaging and collaboration in a single, easy-to-use solution. We believe it will transform workplace productivity and help workers get more work done with less effort.”

What’s new

• Reimagining collaborative-centric communications: Today’s modern, distributed, and mobile workforce needs a next generation enterprise communications solution that provides an easy-to-use, unified experience to be able to communicate with team messaging, audio, video, fax, SMS, collaboration, and conferencing capabilities. With this new release, all of these capabilities are now provided in a simple, elegant, and consistent user experience across mobiles, tablets, and desktops.
• Expanding open platform with team messaging APIs, plus chatbots and AI support: New open APIs and SDKs allow developers to embed messaging, collaboration, and task automation functionality into their business workflows and applications. The new solution now also interfaces with chatbot frameworks, including Hubot, Lita, and Botkit, to streamline and automate decision-making and information-sharing processes.
• Adding 40 out-of-the-box integrations: In addition to open API support, RingCentral is introducing 40 team messaging integrations with popular business apps, bringing the total integrations under the RingCentral portfolio to more than 85. Example new team messaging integrations include: Salesforce, Zoho, Marketo, ServiceNow, Confluence, and Cloze.

The next-generation RingCentral Office provides a mobile-friendly experience for seamless, ease-of-use across any mode of communication. The new solution also ensures that IT managers have robust unified administrative controls, security, reliability, and scalability. For those businesses requiring added compliance, it also offers message logging options and meets HIPAA-compliant conduit requirements.

“We were looking to replace our existing communication system with one that would also give us a complete and integrated unified communications and collaboration solution,” said Sam Eakin, operations manager at Hawk Ridge Systems, a global provider of 3D engineering solutions. “Having a single solution from RingCentral to collaborate, share files, and make calls gives us much greater productivity. It’s much easier to get work done with our teams and customers, and as a result, we’ve seen cross-functional project timelines shrink from three months down to one month.”

Why now
For more than a decade, the unified communications industry has delivered multiple, unintegrated tools to address different modes of communication. The end-user experience has been complex, hindering productivity. For IT administrators, the manageability experience across various tools and vendors also has been poor and expensive to deploy. Additionally, enterprises have been weighed down with the inflexibility of various legacy on-premise systems.

According to a March 2017 survey commissioned by RingCentral,* the average US knowledge worker uses at least five tools to communicate at work. Of the 500 people surveyed, 73 percent said they are interested in having their communications and collaboration capabilities in a single solution. This same group reported that using this type of single solution could save 20–30 percent of their time, leading to greater productivity and efficiency.

Availability
Team messaging integrations, chatbots, and APIs are now available. For more information, please visit developers.ringcentral.com

The next-generation RingCentral Office will be available to customers in limited release starting mid-April 2017.

• RingCentral Quality of Service Analytics gives enterprise IT teams the ability to anticipate and diagnose any voice quality of service issues impacting users globally before they escalate to critical problems.

• Quick identification of any poor quality calls and patterns in problematic calls for immediate isolation, troubleshooting, and resolution. 
• Powerful dashboards with graphic representations of call quality information and call locations with fast and easy drill-down capabilities so IT managers can ensure every conversation is coming across loud and clear.

I can monitor the traffic on those queues and see who’s holding, how many calls we have taken on a queue, how many people we have available, how many missed calls, and what our service level is.
