Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has joined forces with RingCentral to offer what it claims is a unified comms (UC) solution for channel partners.
Dubbed The Rainbow Office powered by RingCentral, the stuff is for medium and large-sized enterprises and is a unified communication-as-a-service (UCaaS) solution, being launched in the UK, it is claimed. It has been available other European countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Spain, and in The Netherlands.
For Alcatel-Lucent, the UCaaS launch comes at a time when customers are evaluating their comms options because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the anticipated shift to more hybrid working.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise country business leader for UK and Ireland, Heather Zhang, said: “This public UCaaS solution, which includes outbound and inbound calling minutes, represents a fantastic opportunity for companies that want to accelerate their transformation to the cloud. These businesses can benefit from a secure business communication platform, which is both easy to implement and to use.”
RingCentral vice-president of strategic partnerships Sahil Rekhi said that Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise had routes into mid and high-end customers that would help drive demand for UCaaS.
“We are confident that customers can accelerate their digital transformation. Additionally, customers will now have access to a powerful UCaaS solution that will meet their growing communications needs and enable them to work from anywhere”, he said.
