This will allow Atos to maximize the global market opportunity
in digital transformation by adding a strong cloud communications
solution to its portfolio. Unify Office, combined with the Atos
Unify OpenScape product family and market leading Atos Unify Cloud
Contact Center offering, gives Atos’ customers unique access to
leading solutions across all the major Unified Communications
categories.
Atos will also become a customer of Unify Office and start to
deploy Unify Office for Atos UCC (former Unify Division) with a
view to expand this across the 110,000 employees. Unify, formerly
Siemens Enterprise Communications, was acquired by Atos in
2016.
During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Atos accelerated its
relationship with RingCentral and engaged within the strong Atos
Unify reseller landscape to certify more than 90 channel partners
with an Early Adopter Program to sell the new Unify Office.
“At RingCentral we’ve always been focused on enabling employees
to be productive and collaborate from anywhere, using any device
and through the modality of their choice to drive effective
business outcomes,” said Vlad Shmunis, Founder, Chairman and CEO,
RingCentral. “By bringing Unify Office to the 40 million users of
Atos Unify’s family of products, we will provide organizations with
the ability to accelerate digital transformation across their
entire enterprise.”
Atos will bring added value to RingCentral’s leading UCaaS
offering through the exclusive compatibility of the Atos Unify
family of devices and market leading services capabilities. In
addition, Atos will provide fully integrated Digital Workplace
offers with some of Atos’ biggest technology and alliance partners.
Unify Office will be the exclusive UCaaS solution offered through
the Atos Unify Channel Program, allowing its reseller community of
more than 1,700 partners worldwide to add their own value.
“This is a critical moment for workplace communications.
Organizations are returning to their offices in a new normal and
require accelerated digital transformation of their workplace
environment,” said Elie Girard, CEO, Atos. “With our unique
heritage in Unified Communications, we’re excited about combining
our knowledge with the market leader in UCaaS to start a new
chapter for business communication solutions worldwide.”
