Ribbon has released Ribbon Connect for Zoom, allowing service providers to facilitate Zoom Phone integrations.
The solution provides off-the-shelf integration services, workflows, and connectivity paths to integrate into the Zoom Phone Provider Exchange.
Ribbon Connect for Zoom adds to its connect portfolio, which includes Ribbon Connect for Webex, Ribbon Connect for Operator Connect, and Ribbon Connect for Teams Direct Routing.
Jason Gilligan, Business Development Manager for Zoom Phone, said:
“We built Zoom Phone Provider Exchange to give our service provider partners a simpler path to offer telecom services to Zoom Phone customers.
“Ribbon’s expertise in integration and automation toolsets will accelerate service providers’ participation in the Zoom Phone Provider Exchange and in turn give our end customers the freedom to easily choose the ideal telecom provider for their PSTN connectivity needs.”
Ribbon is able to offer this solution to service providers as a Provider Exchange Accelerator Partner for Zoom Phone.
While service providers can find a workaround by creating a custom integration, it is a costly undertaking in terms of time, cost, and resources.
Ribbon Connect for Zoom speeds up the time to market for Zoom Phone integrations.
The Zoom Phone Provider Exchange’s web interface also makes it easy for customers to find and select certified telecom providers in their area.
The Ribbon Connect portfolio was built using Ribbon’s carrier-grade elements and it has been deployed in some of the biggest networks in the world.
It allows service providers to accelerate the integration time to numerous unified communications providers through its API integrations, connectivity, sales automation, and administration tools.
According to Ribbon, its integrations enable service providers to simplify the selling, billing, and provisioning processes necessary for cloud UC services.
The architecture behind Ribbon Connect also integrates well with its portfolio of Zoom-certified SBC’s and Voice Threat Prevention solutions.
