Office 365, Microsoft’s cloud-based and Software as a Service modeled version of its popular productivity suite, has been a popular choice for many companies of all sizes.
“Many of the questions in the framework do, however, point customers toward the fundamental importance of understanding cloud service providers’ compliance with a wide array of relevant standards, the approach they take to security and data privacy, the nature of their contractual commitments and what they do and don’t do with their customers’ data”, he says. Customers get an enterprise-grade cloud PBX solution that offers cloud-based business calling, SMS text messaging, conferencing, and web meeting capabilities. We’re pleased to work with RingCentral. “The convergence of business applications and communications has always been contemplated by the industry, and here at RingCentral, we’re making it happen”. Contacts are automatically combined between RingCentral and Outlook and are searchable using a single interface. Users can also set up online video meetings and audio conferences that automatically appear in the Office 365 calendar.
Office 365’s open APIs mean GE will be able to connect mission-critical applications to the set of productivity tools, too.
In a blog post on the Microsoft website, GE’s CTO, Larry Biagini, said the idea of upgrading productivity apps every few years, and taking more than a year to do so, was not sustainable for the large organisation. Other examples of RingCentral Office integration partners include Google, Oracle, Salesforce.com, Zendesk, and others.
More information on RingCentral for Office 365 is available on the company’s website.
