RingCentral-a good choice

October 2, 2007

RingCentral may  be a good choice for those who don’t want to deal with traditional phone companies. Both larger and smaller carriers often use commercial hosted IP PBX platforms from companies like BroadSoft and Sylantro, for either Internet VoIP or their own IP Centrex services. And neither carrier nor platform provider may have the interest or ability to customize its offerings for the smallest businesses, RingCentral believes. “The telcos are largely concentrated on consumers or large enterprises,” said CEO Vlad Schmunis. “There’s very little that a phone company can get you for a small business of 1 to 20 employees.” RingCentral can be flexible, according to Blazensky, because it uses technology it developed itself. Commercial platforms have to please too many other parties, especially technology partners such as switch vendors, to respond rapidly to the needs of small businesses, he claimed. RingCentral, by contrast, need focus only on its small business customers. RingCentral’s self-developed technology may also prove very good for its investors. Imagine a big carrier that wants to get away from the commercial hosted VoIP platforms and deliver a service that sets it apart from the crowd. Such a carrier could find that RingCentral’s technology is just what it is looking for. If so, RingCentral could go the way of GrandCentral and get acquired by a very large company. How big would its very small business customers feel after that?
