RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of cloud business communications solutions, and TELUS, Canada’s fastest-growing national telecommunications company, today announced that they have joined forces to launch TELUS Business Connect™ in the Canadian market.

Today’s business necessities are changing. The rapid adoption of smartphones and the need to support distributed workforces make traditional on-premise phone systems obsolete. TELUS Business Connect will now provide a single solution for businesses, which includes a full bundle of communications capabilities; offering complete voice, fax, and audio and video conferencing – all accessible from desktop devices and apps available for mobile phones. Now businesses can stay connected to their customers, in the office or on the go – to ensure they never miss a call.

“The way we work is changing, and traditional enterprise phone systems can be complicated, costly and ineffective for small businesses,” said Jim Senko, senior vice-president of small business and emerging markets at TELUS. “We are pleased to be working with RingCentral on TELUS Business Connect to provide an affordable, fully-featured suite of communications tools; so our customers can spend less time worrying about their phone system and more time concentrating on growing their business.”

TELUS Business Connect allows customers to enjoy enterprise-grade functionality that is flexible and easy to deploy. As a cloud-based solution, a customer can benefit from a single phone number that works across all devices. Customers will receive unlimited calling across Canada and the U.S. using their TELUS Business Connect phone number, and have advanced calling features, including auto attendant to greet callers and toll-free business phone numbers.

“RingCentral is proud to team up with TELUS to bring a unique cloud-based solution combined with unparalleled functionality and ease of use to the Canadian market,” said Marty Piombo, vice president of strategic partnerships at RingCentral. “This is further validation of the RingCentral solution and our ability to work with major carriers to address the rapidly evolving needs of business customers.”
