"Larger companies are now embracing UCaaS, with almost 40
percent of those still on-premises planning or evaluating a cloud
migration by the end of 2021," said Irwin
Lazar, President and Principal Analyst at research firm
Metrigy. "These organizations prefer BYOC for its ability to enable
easier migration, retain phone number control and call routing
policy, and support broad geographic reach. Bandwidth's Duet
support for RingCentral MVP enables enterprises migrating to the
cloud to realize these benefits."
Over the past year, the shift in how and where people are
working has accelerated large organizations' plans to move their
communications and infrastructure to the cloud. However, it's a
daunting task due to a mixture of different service providers,
legacy infrastructure, critical integrations, and proprietary
technologies. Risks include losing functionality in
highly-regulated, critical capabilities areas like emergency
services or disrupting day-to-day customer connections and revenue
generating activities.
Bandwidth's Duet for RingCentral enables a fully global
BYOC solution for RingCentral and gives Global Fortune 2000
companies the ability to address these migration challenges by
enabling enterprises to unbundle telephony from their UC
platform and choosing Bandwidth as the carrier. Duet for
RingCentral utilizes software-driven tooling alongside
the power of Bandwidth's open cloud communications platform
for real-time access to phone numbers around the world,
carrier-grade SIP trunking, business text messaging and emergency
services. As a result, global enterprises looking for a new UCaaS
platform will be able to reduce complexity, maintain greater
control, and better prepare for future scale as they move business
communications to the cloud.
"Large companies are pushing ahead with digital transformation
as the world evolves with people, partners and customers
increasingly working from anywhere," said Anand Eswaran, President and Chief Operating
Officer at RingCentral. "By relying on global experts such as
Bandwidth and RingCentral, who have been focused on helping
companies move to the cloud from the start, organizations can
reduce friction and get a head start on their journey. Together our
organizations have over 40 years of experience moving
communications to the cloud. That's what you need when you're
facing a big modernization project: experience coupled with
capabilities."
Moving to a cloud-based communications solution is more flexible
and more cost-effective, however it must also provide advanced
capabilities. For example, RingCentral provides message, video and
phone services integrated with enterprise applications, and
Bandwidth provides advanced emergency calling capabilities as well
as a dedicated global IP voice network that reaches 60+ countries,
representing more than 90% of world GDP. With this BYOC solution,
enterprises get both the rich feature set of the RingCentral
platform as well as the powerful underlying telephony layer of the
Bandwidth global network, giving businesses the best of both worlds
at software speed.
"Compounding the unique challenges large organizations face
migrating and modernizing their communications stack, is the
equally important driver to facilitate global communications at
scale," said John Bell, Chief
Product Officer at Bandwidth. "Bandwidth's BYOC solution for
RingCentral will not only simplify the move to the cloud but also
aims to deliver a single pane of glass to global organizations as
they look to centralize communications and realize greater
operational efficiencies. The combination of these two
cloud-native, global powerhouses will make it easier than ever
before for our shared customers and prospects in the large
enterprise space to modernize their communications."
