Deutsche Telekom/RingCentral Announce Partnership Extension

While the phone dominated for decades, omnichannel communications are all the rage these days. No longer do businesses depend on traditional telecom infrastructure. With remote and hybrid setups growing in prevalence, organizations are turning to cloud-based systems to provide workers with communications from anywhere.

Today, Deutsche Telekom and RingCentral jointly announced a freshly signed extension to an existing partnership with the launch of RingCentral X powered by Telekom. The new solution offers the communications and collaboration capabilities to support the dispersed German workforce.

German businesses gain access to RingCentral’s Message Video Phone (MVP®) offering through a single platform, allowing employees to connect with customers and colleagues reliably through the cloud.

“People are not only working in the office, but also in the home office or on the move and across different devices,” said Claudia Buhne, head of Business Communication and Collaboration at Telekom Deutschland GmbH. “RingCentral X powered by Telekom combines these communication needs in a single solution. This gives them the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing work environment,"

Combining Deutsche Telekom’s wide, reliable network coverage with RingCentral’s communications offerings make this partnership a huge win for German customers.  The company earned C5 test certificate (Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue) from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), ensuring the platform meets the highest security requirements. 

“We are excited to bring a modern cloud-based solution to customers in Germany in partnership with Deutsche Telekom – a company with high-quality standards in access and service,” said Marco Meier, vice president, sales, DACH, at RingCentral. “This is yet another step in our journey to helping organizations migrate to the cloud so they can work efficiently from anywhere. Deutsche Telekom’s state of the art networks combined with our cloud-first communications platform, we are able to transform and enhance the way people work.”
