RingCentral, a provider of global enterprise cloud communications, collaboration, and contact centre solutions, is working with distributor Westcon in the EMEA region. RingCentral’s new partnership with Westcon will support channel partners, and enterprises, as they look to transition business communications to the cloud, it says. RingCentral provides a cloud platform with multimodal communications capabilities including voice, video, online meetings, team messaging, and digital customer engagement.
With Westcon acting as a master agent for RingCentral initially in the UK and Ireland, Westcon aims to draw on its established EMEA footprint to extend RingCentral’s reach across multiple markets in Europe in the longer term.
“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, Westcon.
“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.”
Antony Byford, managing director, Westcon UK&I said: “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.”
