With this offering, Vodafone Business Ireland and RingCentral are empowering businesses to embrace the evolving landscape of hybrid work. 

This launch coincides with great market momentum.

The solution also integrates with many popular applications, and with RingCentral’s AI-powered platform, organizations can leverage conversation intelligence and actionable insights to augment communication experiences.   

John McCarthy, head of product & partner for Vodafone Business Ireland, said: “Workplace needs are changing, and legacy voice technologies such as PSTN are sunsetting.

“Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral is a uniquely flexible communication and collaboration solution that will help businesses take control and become more efficient, agile and future-ready, while delivering a world class connectivity and service for better customer experience.”     

Lee Williams, AVP International Service Providers, RingCentral, said: “We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Vodafone Business as we broaden our European footprint to Ireland, delivering enterprise-grade communications to businesses of all sizes.
