The partnership will provide collaboration across multiple devices, with customers having a single point of contact.
Verizon Business CEO, Tami Erwin said: “Through this partnership, we’re leveraging our best-in-class network with RingCentral’s expertise in cloud collaboration to deliver game-changing cloud-based solutions that meet the needs of enterprises today and future proof how they operate moving forward”.
