ROI is the holy grail for most IT departments. And when it comes to getting the most out of Microsoft Teams, integrated telephony is the name of the game. That’s where RingCentral for Microsoft Teams comes in.
We’re thrilled to announce the release of a redesigned, revamped and recharged RingCentral embedded app for Microsoft Teams. This sleek, phone-focused integration brings the best of RingCentral’s telephony into Microsoft Teams.
This means a major ROI boost for your organisation. Here’s how:
A simple, three-step process enables administrators to push the integration to all, or some, of their users. Just as importantly, the updated RingCentral for Microsoft Teams embedded app no longer requires a download or usage of the RingCentral desktop app. This not only reduces administrative burden, but makes end-user training a breeze.
After speaking with hundreds of customers about RingCentral for Teams, it became clear: Even though they are committed to Teams, they saw a need to embed RingCentral’s telephony capabilities to fill a communications gap. The integration needs to be seamless, user-friendly and give users access to powerful phone capabilities.
The new version of RingCentral for Microsoft Teams embedded app delivers just that, providing users with the familiar, reliable calling experience they love from RingCentral. Plus, the integration omits team messaging and video meeting features to avoid overlapping capabilities and end user confusion. With RingCentral for Microsoft Teams, customers can unlock plenty powerful telephony capabilities such as:
Take a look at how intuitive and rich the telephony experience can be, all within the Microsoft Teams app:
Placing a call is a breeze. And unlike other solutions, it doesn’t require answering an inbound call to complete the connection.
Receiving a call is just as simple.
Miss a call? Get voicemails and voicemail transcriptions right in Teams.
Once you’re on a call, you’ll get controls like mute, hold, transfer, park and more.
It’s also easy to send and receive faxes.
Thousands of customers have chosen RingCentral for integrated telephony in Microsoft Teams. They pick us for our unmatched reliability, market-leading analytics, the broadest set of telephony integrations and more. And with the addition of simplified administration and an unmatched user experience, there’s simply no better solution in the market.
Statuses are automatically synced between RingCentral and Microsoft Teams, ensuring the true availability of users is accurately reflected. So when users take a call in RingCentral (even on a hard phone!), their status in Teams will be updated to “Busy.”
Conversely, when a user joins a video meeting or places a VOIP call in Teams, the user status automatically updates to “Busy” in RingCentral.
Contacts from both Microsoft and RingCentral directories are now searchable in RingCentral for Microsoft Teams. This ensures callers can always find the right contact without app switching.
The full power of RingCentral’s industry-leading telephony experience will also be available in the Microsoft Teams mobile app, keeping you connected on the go.
These new capabilities extend the value of an already-powerful integration, further cementing RingCentral’s position as the best telephony solution for Microsoft Teams. In addition to these new capabilities, customers can continue to expect:
In today’s economic climate, organisations that generate revenue or deliver services through the phone simply can’t afford downtime. RingCentral has delivered 19 straight quarters of less than 79 seconds of downtime, making it the choice for those who want uptime instead of service credits.
Users can access RingCentral anytime through a browser or the RingCentral app, ensuring they stay connected – even when Microsoft Teams is down.
In today’s world, making data-driven decisions isn’t a “nice to have” – it’s a must. But extracting advanced telephony metrics from Teams is challenging and costly, requiring a PowerBI licence and an expert to build, maintain, and distribute reports.
Enter RingCentral Analytics – an industry-leading UCaaS analytics solution, according to the Tolly Group. With real-time quality-of-service reporting, customisable templates, and easy sharing, it’s the perfect tool for IT and department leaders looking to decrease costs and drive revenue. Plus, no data science degree or additional licence are required.
