This launch coincides with great market momentum. Currently, unified communications cloud penetration in Ireland stands at 43.7%, with projected growth exceeding 80% by 2028, according to a Cavell Group report¹. This enormous, projected uptick in cloud penetration is not surprising given that Ireland ranks among Europe's leaders in remote or hybrid work job postings, as indicated by an Indeed report. To best fuel hybrid work, Irish businesses require a resilient and secure communications solution that is flexible and easy to implement across dispersed workforces.

Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral offers robust collaboration capabilities, including team messaging, video meetings, and a feature-rich, cloud-based system, ensuring customers can streamline workflows and optimize workforce productivity. The solution also integrates with many popular applications, and with RingCentral’s AI-powered platform, organizations can leverage conversation intelligence and actionable insights to augment communication experiences.

“Workplace needs are changing, and legacy voice technologies such as PSTN are sunsetting,” said John McCarthy, Head of Product & Partner for Vodafone Business Ireland. “Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral​ is a uniquely flexible communication and collaboration solution​ that will help businesses take control and become more efficient, agile and future-ready,​​ while delivering a world class connectivity and service for better customer experience.”
