Ingram Micro (NYSE: IM) has extended its US distribution agreement with communications provider RingCentral (NYSE: RNG) to now offer the cloud-based business phone solution to its UK channel partners.
“Now is the optimum time for partners to grow with Ingram Micro as we gain leverage on their behalf following the announcement of our worldwide cloud services organisation,” says Apay Obang-Oyway general manager, enterprise software and services group, Ingram Micro.
“Cloud-based business communications solutions and services are high growth sales opportunities for our channel partners, especially as many organisations still don’t have a natural owner for business communications and require consultancy in this area. As such, we’re pleased to extend RingCentral Office into the UK, through the Ingram Micro Cloud Division.”
RingCentral Office is designed for mobile and dispersed workforces, and includes voice, fax and conferencing capabilities and, according to the company, offers an alternative”to complex, inflexible on-premise legacy phone systems.”
“We’re pleased to be a major part of Ingram Micro’s cloud portfolio,” said Lars Nordhild Ronning, general manager (EMEA), RingCentral. “As businesses look to connect their increasingly mobile and geographically distributed workforces, Ingram Micro’s sizeable network of channel partners across EMEA will now be able to help more companies in the UK experience the benefits of a fully integrated cloud phone system.”
