Office 365 for 300,000+ GE employees worldwide — Massive Microsoft win

BELMONT, Calif.-(Business Wire)- RingCentral, Inc. “This is a big step for customers to have seamless integration between their communications and their productivity suite”.

Microsoft has announced that it’s launched Office 365 channels on IFTTT’s app connection service, allowing you to to trigger functions in your favorite products, like automatically backing up your photos to OneDrive cloud storage.

This has been a turn-around year for Microsoft, as it re-tools itself into a cloud and mobile software company less interested in dominating the device and more focused on getting people to use Microsoft software on whatever device they want – whether it’s Windows, Macs, iPhones, iPads, Android, or Windows Phone. We’re pleased to work with RingCentral. It also lets them set up audio conferences and online meetings with video that then automatically appear in the Office 365 calendar.

Russell Craig, Microsoft NZ national technology officer, says information provided will be of great assistance to the wide range of government organisations that are now evaluating Office 365.

While there was competition, were told that ‘Office 365 quickly emerged as the front-runner and signa;led another investment by the multinational company to embrace a cloud-based solution to empower and transform its digital workforce – a move other forward-leaning companies are likely to take to drive increased productivity in today’s rapidly changing climate.’.

Office 365 will also connect to GE’s critical line of business apps through open APIs, and will provide controls and security capabilities that help the organisation adhere to corporate policies, industry regulations and legal requirements, Microsoft said. In addition, Microsoft said small and medium businesses offer “one of our best opportunities for new growth in the cloud”.

Easy for end users to set up and for IT to manage, RingCentral for Office 365 is available for Chrome and coming soon for IE browsers. RingCentral is headquartered in Belmont, Calif. RingCentral, the RingCentral logo and RingCentral Office are trademarks of RingCentral, Inc.
