A recent report from Synergy Research named RingCentral the market leader for cloud-based communications service based on installed base and revenues – and the company is extending its lead on both measures. RingCentral marked the milestone by placing a front-page ad in the Wall Street Journal. Highlighting the findings of the Synergy report and making a larger statement to US business community: in cloud, we lead.
In this podcast, Long describes RingCentral’s ascent in terms of how the company sharpened its message to both the channel and the enterprise end user communities.
