“Enterprises should consider RingCentral when they need a UCaaS platform that has an emphasis on security and reliability and has been integrated across a broad portfolio of unified communications and collaboration solution elements with access to a platform that comes with numerous integrations to enterprise software and services,” said Denise Lund, research director, Worldwide Telecom and Unified Communications at IDC. “RingCentral offers SMBs a good value with its RingCentral Office solution, but the company has also made a significant investment in its free video conferencing and team messaging solution with RingCentral Glip, to address the entry point barrier for any business to easily start their journey to a full cloud communications solution.”
The 2021 IDC MarketScape Reports for Enterprise and SMB highlight a number of key strengths for RingCentral in each segment, but the commonality between the two reports include:
- Mobility: RingCentral has built its UCaaS solution with mobile as a major use case, an approach that allows it to be considered by organizations that have communications and collaboration needs for employees that have broad roles and may work outside of a set office environment.
- Reliability and Security: RingCentral has a UCaaS platform that places an emphasis on reliability and security, with compliance on major standards (i.e., HIPAA and FINRA) that are important to its customers.
- Integration capabilities: RingCentral offers a broad portfolio of unified communications and collaboration solution elements with access to a platform that comes with various integrations to enterprise software and services.
Carson Hostetter, senior vice president of Worldwide Field Sales at RingCentral said, “We’re observing a major shift in how we work, how we communicate, and how we collaborate. RingCentral is helping Enterprise organizations support their workforce to work from anywhere with secure, reliable cloud-based communications.
