Distributor Westcon and cloud specialist RingCentral have entered a strategic partnership to deliver cloud communications solutions across multiple markets in Europe, with Westcon acting as a master agent for RingCentral.

“Demand for enterprise-grade cloud communications solutions grows daily, and we are continually investing in market-leading technologies that help our partners to build out cloud-based aspects of their portfolio,” said Rene Klein, Senior Vice President, Westcon Europe.

“That is why we’ve made the strategic decision to make RingCentral our lead partner in our launch of a new master agency model for Europe. We’re excited to be pioneering this new approach as a significant addition to our existing channel partner model.”

With expertise in unified communications as a service (UCaaS), Westcon says it will enable speedy partner onboarding, enabling fast ROI on their investment.

Antony Byford, Managing Director, Westcon UK&I said: “RingCentral is an industry-leading vendor at the sweet spot of the UCaaS opportunity. It represents a highly compelling proposition for partners wanting to build their cloud-based business.

“RingCentral’s portfolio is attractive to new resellers across many industries, with a market potential that extends beyond traditional UC players. We believe Westcon has the reach, relationships, and drive to help accelerate RingCentral’s business growth here in the UK and Ireland.”

RingCentral provides a single cloud platform with multimodal communications capabilities including voice, video, online meetings, team messaging, and digital customer engagement.

It also provides integration capabilities with other leading cloud business apps to enable organisations with seamless and customisable workflows.

TDBC to apply 8×8’s cloud-based telephony system…

800 450 Jack Wynn

Taunton Deane Borough Council (TDBC) will introduce cloud-based technology provided by 8×8 from early December in a bid to improve the council’s staff productivity and service offering for its 140,000 local residents.  

The roll-out will give staff members access to advanced telephony features including intelligent call routing for residents to be directed to the most appropriately skilled agent first time. The new cloud system will also improve internal communications, and, as 8×8’s communications systems are based completely in the cloud, TDBC can quickly increase and decrease the number of staff working, based on demand.  

Fiona Kirkham, ICT and information manager at Taunton Deane Borough Council and West Somerset Council said: “We’re always looking at how we can innovate and improve our systems to help residents in Taunton and the surrounding area. It’s important for us to use cutting edge technology to make sure we are as efficient as possible and ensure local residents receive the best possible support. The 8×8 team is really supportive, working quickly and efficiently so that we can meet our very tight launch deadlines.” 

TDBC needed a provider that could quickly replace its existing legacy system to open an additional site in early December, before rolling out to further sites early next year. In addition, 8×8’s full compliance with PCI DSS standards and acquiring accreditation under the UK government’s ‘Cyber Essentials’ scheme gave TDBC the peace of mind that its system was secure.
