RingCentral (NYSE:RNG), a provider of cloud business communications solutions, and Tech Data, one of the world’s largest distributors of IT products and services, have announced a new agreement to enable Tech Data’s channel of solution providers in the U.S. to sell RingCentral’s cloud communications solution to business customers.
RingCentral Office is a complete cloud business phone system that’s designed for today’s mobile and dispersed workforces. It provides a solution alternative to complex, on-premise legacy phone systems. RingCentral Office keeps employees connected to customers and colleagues wherever they are, on a variety of business and personal devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers and desk phones. RingCentral’s offering is available through Tech Data’s StreamOne Solutions Store.
RingCentral Office would be simple to activate and manage, while it can easily scale as a company grows. For businesses that want to integrate their cloud communications solution with other business applications in their environment, RingCentral offers a comprehensive set of application program interfaces (APIs) that enable custom integrations and enhanced workflows.
In addition, RingCentral would seamlessly integrate with other leading cloud-based business applications such as Salesforce, Google, Box, Zendesk and Dropbox.
