Maintel has expanded its partnership with RingCentral to create UK public sector. offerings.
Maintel will offer RingCentral Office to UK local and central government organisations through the NS2 network services framework. The RingCentral solution provides organisations with an integrated team messaging, video meetings, and cloud phone system—on any device.
The pair say the new product will enable public sector organisations to transform their communications with cloud-based communications services.
Maintel will design, implement and support RingCentral Office-based implementations which will include a comprehensive suite of mobile devices, desktop soft clients and attendant consoles.
Customers will also be able to integrate this solution with Maintel’s own contact centre solution (Callmedia CX NOW), and a range of connectivity and security offers, enabling a complete end-to-end communications and connectivity service.
The company already has a history in supplying communications and managed services to the public sector. It works with over 40 NHS trusts to provide mission-critical communications solutions and its public sector clients include the likes of – Greater London Authority, West Midlands Police, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, University of Bath, University College London Hospital Trust, Plymouth NHS Hospital Trust and NHS Grampian.
Ioan MacRae, Chief Executive Officer at Maintel, said: “We’ve helped more than 300 public sector organisations to address the growing need for digital transformation and collaborative communications, covering hundreds of thousands of employees.
“By extending our partnership with RingCentral, we can now deliver advanced communications solutions to the UK public sector. Many public sector organisations are using a variety of legacy systems to communicate with colleagues and citizens and share files, but the use of these disparate solutions makes it difficult for employees to get work done. By deploying an all-in-one solution, we can ensure that people working in the public sector can communicate and collaborate easier than ever before, and on any device.”
Tony McNish, Regional Vice President Channel Sales, UK & Ireland at RingCentral, said: “Today’s modern workforce needs the ability to communicate from anywhere using their preferred channels in order to stay connected and efficient. By extending our partnership with Maintel, public sector organisations will be able to benefit from a cloud-based communications solution that makes it simple for staff to message each other, ring each other, video call, or share files, without the need to ever switch apps. This partnership builds on our vision of providing enhanced communications solutions to companies that help their leaders optimise productivity within their organisation.”
