Ribbon Simplifies and Accelerates Service Providers' Support for Zoom Phone

Zoom Phone (News - Alert), as just about everyone is aware of, is a significant player with its cloud-based phone system. However, offering telecom services to Zoom Phone customers comes with its fair share of difficulties.

Traditionally, building a robust infrastructure to handle voice calls, messaging and other communication features is an intricate task. The establishment and maintenance of a network of servers, data centers and interconnections with various telecom providers require substantial resources and expertise. Also, there is the compliance process with regulations and legal requirements and ensuring interoperability with existing telecommunication systems and networks.

Traditionally, those challenges made it to where it took months for service providers to engage with Zoom Phone customers.

Well, that is about to change, thanks to Ribbon Communications.
