BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of cloud communications and collaboration solutions, today announced the availability of RingCentral Mobile® for Apple Watch®. RingCentral’s latest innovation in the mobile wearables market demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to improving business communications that support and boost productivity among today’s increasingly mobile workforce.
RingCentral Mobile for Apple Watch enables workers to seamlessly respond to incoming calls and messages while away from their desks. Upon receiving a call, users can opt to send a canned text-to-speech message, use the Apple Handoff® feature to directly transfer incoming calls to their iPhones for pickup, or send the call straight to voicemail where they can view a transcription of the message from their wrists. The app automatically syncs with a customer’s RingCentral Office® account, allowing users to view all communications with their most recent contacts and receive instant notifications while on the go to stay up to date on their latest messages.
“We know today’s workers are no longer tethered to their desks. We are committed to providing a convenient, mobile solution that works across any device to address the demands of the rapidly transitioning modern workforce,” said RingCentral EVP of Innovation, Kira Makagon. “As business communications becomes more mobile and cloud-centric, our app offers a continuous extension of our RingCentral Office suite from the convenience of your wrist.”
