RingCentral Press Releases

Sydney, Australia – September 12, 2024 – RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading global provider of trusted AI communications for businesses of all sizes, today announced that Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA), the world’s largest melanoma research and treatment facility, is replacing its legacy virtual PBX infrastructure with RingCentral RingEX™. The five-year contract will see all MIA staff nationally migrate to the RingCentral platform in the last quarter of 2024 to improve communications and collaboration across MIA’s multiple clinics, augmenting patient treatment and experiences.

As a not-for-profit organisation at the forefront of global advances in melanoma research and treatment, MIA is dedicated to preventing and curing melanoma through innovative world-class research, treatment and education programs. Most of MIA’s multi-disciplinary operations are based in the world’s largest melanoma research and treatment facility in North Sydney. MIA receives 2,000 new melanoma and complex skin cancer patients referrals and manages approximately 20,000 patient visits per annum.

“We needed a communications solution flexible enough to meet the individual requirements of each of our practices, while also allowing our staff to openly collaborate and share information across the broader team,” said Ernie White, CIO, Melanoma Institute Australia. “We’ve also seen an increasing number of remote engagements with patients, but we have been unable to take advantage of telehealth advances with our current communications platform. RingCentral provides the ideal solution to address all of these critical needs.”

MIA will roll out RingEX starting this October, with plans to implement the RingCentral softphone desktop client for a majority of users, as well as providing staff with the RingCentral app on their personal smartphones to enable mobility. 

“As a not-for-profit, it's critical for us to streamline our costs. By using the RingCentral app, we won’t need to spend extra on desk phones or mobile device hardware. Instead, our people can still be reached on their personal mobile phones via their office extension - and we can keep their personal mobile numbers private,” said White.

RingCentral’s focus on trust, innovation, and partnership enables MIA to put connection at the centre of care, delivering superior patient experiences and bringing down costs with modern, secure, and reliable cloud communications. RingEX’s robust capabilities include HD voice, video, messaging, conferencing, and efax, as well as an integrated team workspace with fully featured messaging, collaboration, file sharing, and task management. 

“Melanoma treatment involves surgeons, medical oncologists, dermatologists, pathologists, researchers, nurses, biobank specialists and psychologists. Collaboration is at the heart of enabling these multi-disciplinary teams to work well together to improve overall treatment outcomes and deliver a positive healthcare experience for patients. We’re honoured to help MIA achieve their mission of preventing and curing melanoma to save lives around the globe,” said John Poli, Industry Principal, Healthcare at RingCentral.

“RingCX fills a gap in the Australian market for an accessible, all-inclusive contact centre solution that has the omnichannel capabilities businesses of all sizes need to power smarter customer experiences,” said Ben Swanson, Regional Vice President Partner Sales, RingCentral. “RingCX complements our core unified communications platform perfectly, and scales with the business both in capacity and features. Australian organisations see great advantages in a tightly integrated unified communications and contact centre platform from one supplier, and RingCX allows us to continue to meet that need.”

An early Australian adopter of RingCX is independent unified communications consultancy TelcoDataCloud, who is using RingCX to integrate with its RingEX unified communications solution and with HubSpot CRM.

“We have a geographically dispersed contact centre team, so RingCX is ideal as a centralised system with omnichannel and AI capabilities to reduce management overheads,” said Asa Grund, Director, TelcoDataCloud. “We are also using RingSense™ AI for transcriptions, coaching, and analysis. That allows us to identify sales best practice and replicate those techniques across the team. This data is automatically stored against that customer record in HubSpot, which helps with the sequencing of our outbound campaigns, gives us actionable data into the future, and ensures the continuity of engagement with each customer.”

Integrated Experiences 

RingCX is integrated with five leading CRMs, including Salesforce, Hubspot, ServiceNow, Zendesk, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, all currently available in beta. Multiple additional integrations are planned for the second half of 2024.

All of this is available as an embedded RingCX agent experience inside CRM systems, where agents can manage interactions across voice, and 20+ digital channels.

In addition, RingCX has open APIs that enable a growing ecosystem of partners such as Google Dialogflow, Cognigy, Yellow.ai, Balto, and Calabrio with pre-built integrations now available in RingCentral's App Gallery. RingCentral is committed to expanding partnerships and growing the ecosystem of pre-built integrations with RingCX.

SYDNEY, Australia – 21 February 2024 – RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of AI-first global enterprise cloud communications, video, webinars, hybrid events, and contact centre solutions, today announced that Virtus Health, one of the top providers of assisted reproductive services in the world, has selected RingCentral for its integrated Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) platform. The integrated RingCentral MVP^® and RingCentral Contact Centre^™ solutions will be systematically deployed over the next six months to 62 fertility clinics, day hospitals, and diagnostics and pathology facilities in Australia and Europe.

RingCentral’s integrated and secure UCaaS and CCaaS platform will assist Virtus in delivering personalised patient care, tailored to individual circumstances and needs. Once the solutions have been rolled out, Virtus is expecting significant savings annually in business communications costs. The RingCentral platform will unify and consolidate Virtus’ telephony and contact centre functionality, providing high availability and reliability, visibility and reporting on all calls and voice traffic across the organisation, and the ability to manage call flows and queues centrally between the contact centre and individual sites. RingCentral is also the ideal platform to support Virtus Health’s hybrid working environment, and the integration of any future Australian and international acquisitions.

The five-year contract includes the provision of devices and project services to design and deploy the integrated UCaaS and CCaaS environment for approximately 1,700 employees and a centralised contact centre supporting staff and patients across 62 sites globally. The solution will be deployed over Virtus Health’s global SD-WAN, ensuring quality of service and optimised performance. The RingCentral for Salesforce integration will ensure calls are routed to the appropriate clinics and teams, that patient information is readily accessible and Virtus can personalise the patient experience.

While deployment was planned to start in Australia, the relocation of Virtus Health’s Complete Fertility Centre in the UK to a brand new, bespoke premises in Southampton presented the opportunity to pilot the RingCentral solution ahead of the Australian rollout.

Shaun Thurling, Head of Information Technology, Virtus Health: “Reproductive healthcare, especially IVF, is a very personal journey and so patient experience is our most important outcome. RingCentral was the best fit to support our key patient care goals, providing the ideal solution for a seamless interconnection between our centralised contact centre and decentralised clinical environment. The recent success of our UK deployment has proven that and given us valuable insights to assist in the global deployment over the next four months. We look forward to the additional functionality and patient care capabilities we will gain through the initial rollout, as well as further innovations and integrations to be delivered by RingCentral over our five-year partnership.”

John Poli, Industry Principal, Healthcare at RingCentral: “This project with Virtus Health is a perfect illustration as to why RingCentral’s integrated UCaaS and CCaaS solutions are ideal for the healthcare sector. RingCentral has established a highly available platform with the level of security and data privacy that is meeting the needs of healthcare providers in Australia and around the world. I look forward to seeing Virtus Health become the industry benchmark in using communications technologies to support personalised patient care.”

Peter Hughes, Area Vice President, RingCentral: “It’s fantastic to support a leader in reproductive healthcare services in deploying and managing a global communications platform from here in Australia. It not only increases Virtus Health’s ability to compete and continue to grow internationally; it also ensures that the high standards of patient care and customer experience can be delivered consistently around the world.”
