In response to COVID-19, RingCentral and Atos have partnered to create Unify Office by RingCentral, a born-in-the-cloud, digital first solution that offers next-generation messaging, video, and phone services. The offering can be activated quickly and provides global enterprise-grade security and reliability. In addition to the companies’ previously announced system integrator relationship, the expanded partnership will now include Unify Office as the exclusive UCaaS offering for the 40 million user installed base of the Atos Unify product family.
The creation of Unify Office by RingCentral allows Atos to maximise the global market opportunity in digital transformation by adding a strong cloud communications solution to its portfolio. Unify Office by RingCentral, combined with the Atos Unify OpenScape product family and the Atos Unify Cloud Contact Center offering, gives Atos’ customers unique access to solutions across all the major unified communications categories. Atos will also become a customer of Unify Office and start to deploy Unify Office for Atos Unified Communications and Collaboration (Atos UCC) (formerly the company’s Unify Division) with a view to expand this across the 110,000 employees. Unify, formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications, was acquired by Atos in 2016.
Unify Office by RingCentral launched earlier this year in 8 European nations and is now available in the UK, USA and Australia. Atos will bring added value to RingCentral’s UCaaS offering because of exclusive compatibility with the Atos Unify family of devices and services capabilities. In addition, Atos will provide fully integrated Digital Workplace offers with some of Atos’ biggest technology and alliance partners. Unify Office will be the exclusive UCaaS solution offered through the Atos Unify Channel Program, allowing its reseller community of more than 1,700 partners worldwide to add their own value.
“We’ve always been focused on enabling employees to be productive and collaborate from anywhere, using any device and through the modality of their choice to drive effective business outcomes,” said Vlad Shmunis, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of RingCentral.
“By bringing Unify Office to the 40 million users of Atos Unify’s family of products, we will provide organisations with the ability to accelerate digital transformation across their entire enterprise”
Mark Smith, the Chief Marketing Officer of Atos Unify, added: “With Unify Office by RingCentral we have combined our leadership in digital workplaces with RingCentral’s leadership in cloud communications and collaboration. We couldn’t be more excited for customers old and new to benefit from the flexibility, reliability and certainty Unify Office will bring. Our services and development capabilities are being deployed to take advantage of the fully open platform Unify Office provides.”
Unify Office by RingCentral offers customers several features, including data residency, language support, seamless migration from existing Atos Unify products, security and reliability underpinned by a five-nines uptime SLA, and a global footprint. Unify Office can be deployed across more than 40 countries without the need to deploy multiple on-premises systems. In addition, the solution is localised in more than ten languages.
Unify Office by RingCentral is available directly from Atos.
