RingCentral and Vodafone have brought their Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral hybrid work solution to Ireland.
Already accessible in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral enables seamless communication and collaboration from “virtually any device, anywhere, at any time”, according to the vendors’ news story.
With this offering, Vodafone Business Ireland and RingCentral aim to empower businesses to embrace the evolving landscape of hybrid work.
Lee Williams, AVP International Service Providers at RingCentral, said:
We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Vodafone Business as we broaden our European footprint to Ireland, delivering enterprise-grade communications to businesses of all sizes. Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral offers a tailored solution fostering productivity and adaptability so organizations can facilitate successful hybrid work.”
Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral provides robust collaboration features, including team messaging, video meetings, and a feature-rich cloud-based system, helping customers streamline workflows and boost productivity.
The vendors say the solution integrates with many popular applications, and RingCentral’s AI-powered platform offers conversation intelligence and actionable insights to enhance communication experiences.
“Workplace needs are changing, and legacy voice technologies such as PSTN are sunsetting,” added John McCarthy, Head of Product & Partner for Vodafone Business Ireland. “Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral is a uniquely flexible communication and collaboration solution that will help businesses take control and become more efficient, agile and future-ready, while delivering a world class connectivity and service for better customer experience.”
Vodafone and RingCentral’s launch coincides with strong market momentum. According to a Cavell Group report, unified communications cloud penetration in Ireland is currently 43.7 percent, with growth projected to exceed 80 percent by 2028. RingCentral and Vodafone highlight this aligns with Ireland’s leading position in remote or hybrid work job postings, as signalled by Indeed.
Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral is now available in Ireland for new and existing Vodafone Business customers.
RingCentral and Vodafone’s Impressive 2023
In April 2023, RingCentral and Vodafone upgraded their shared collaboration and calling platform to enhance the experience of mobile users.
The two vendors introduced updates to their Vodafone Business Unified Communications (VBUC) platform, leveraging Vodafone’s mobile network and RingCentral’s mobile applications. These updates provided a unified experience for making calls, sending messages, and launching HD-quality video meetings, seamlessly turning a user’s iOS or Android device into an extension of their office.
In May 2023, RingCentral and Vodafone brought the Vodafone One Net collaboration with RingCentral UCaaS solution to empower flexible working for Portugal-based workers.
The collaboration merges RingCentral’s messaging and video capabilities with Vodafone’s fixed and mobile voice communications into a single platform. Although Portugal-based workers already had access to Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral, this fully cloud-based solution enables them to work collaboratively from any device, anywhere.
In November, RingCentral and Vodafone partnered to deliver its shared UC and collaboration solution to Spain.
RingCentral and Vodafone’s One Net Unite con RingCentral offering will provide Spain-based businesses with greater flexibility for hybrid and remote work while maintaining effective collaboration. This secure and agile platform streamlines communications between employees, customers, and suppliers.
