Leading communication, contact centre, and collaboration company, RingCentral, announced an exciting new partnership this week. The new RingCentral Rooms for Poly experience will bring the simplicity and performance of RingCentral Video to any workspace.
Created to support the hybrid and flexible workforce, this intuitive RingCentral Rooms service builds on top of the Poly Studio X video bars for all-in-one functionality. RingCentral Rooms for Poly consolidates workspace needs into a minimal number of devices, while allowing for a new wave of analytics, rooms intelligence and manageability.
The solution specifically simplifies large-scale deployments with frictionless installations, procurement, and management.
Delivering Sensational Meeting Rooms
The RingCentral Rooms experience for Poly is now fully integrated with Poly Studio X30 and X50 solutions. This integration delivers more simplicity and convenience to physical workspaces.
The partnership responds to a recent Gartner survey, revealing that while 30% of employees worked remotely part-time before the pandemic, around 41% of people will be working remotely post-pandemic. This hybrid workforce requires new ways to meet and connect.
RingCentral Rooms will allow on-site and remote employees to enjoy seamless collaboration. Leading-edge video and UC technology ensures RingCentral Rooms will enhance meetings for the future workplace, with on-site and remote employees collaborating on equal footing.
According to Chief Product Officer at RingCentral, Will Moxley, the ability to work anywhere is changing how businesses operate. Modern teams require flexibility that allows for collaboration and rapidly changing environments. RingCentral Rooms offers this flexibility in the work-from-home landscape.
RingCentral Rooms extends cloud communication functionality to meeting spaces of any size, with Poly technology to enhance audio, video, and content sharing. Benefits include:
- Collaboration with anyone joining from any device with a single tap
- Modern workspaces to suit rooms of all sizes: Teams can utilise everything from wireless file and screen-sharing, to digital whiteboards
- Easy to deploy, manage, and monitor performance: IT teams can establish telepresence cloud rooms with off-the-shelf equipment, reducing initial investment requirements
A State of the Art Collaborative Experience
The Poly Studio X50 and X30 products enhance RingCentral Rooms with exceptional noise suppression, video, and audio. According to VP and GM of the Room Collaboration Business Unit for Poly, Tim Root, Poly and RingCentral have always worked well together. They both believe in the importance of efficient and intuitive meeting spaces.
Already, CIO & VP of Technology at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, Dave Evans, says that deploying RingCentral Rooms has helped his company to modernize the communications infrastructure. Partners and employees can immediately start meetings as soon as they walk into a conference room.
RingCentral Rooms with Poly technology provide a simple and consistent experience. Collaborative moments are intuitive and interactive, with seamless functionality across all RingCentral team messaging and video.
Partner for Wainhouse Research, Bill Haskins, said that having evaluated both the Poly Studio technology, and RingCentral, they’re optimistic about the RingCentral Rooms launch. The best successful meeting platforms delight users in the meeting room and at the desktop. RingCentral Rooms is in the perfect position to offer highly desirable outcomes everywhere.
