For 40 years, Impact XM has helped businesses tell their stories through exhibits, events, product launches, and other live and digital marketing experiences. They’re extremely good at it too, which is why some of the world’s most respected organizations—companies like Under Armour, Ricoh, BASF, and Comcast Business—trust Impact XM to create memorable customer experiences for their brands.
And when Impact XM merged in 2017 with another highly successful exhibit and event marketing company, the new organization had expanded its global office footprint by 100% and added hundreds of new employees to the team. This highly mobile, tech-savvy organization knew they needed a unified platform for their globally distributed teams to communicate and collaborate seamlessly both internally and with clients. They found RingCentral.

A company merger introduces disparate technologies
With so many new teams, departments, and locations coming together post-merger to create what Impact XM is today, we found ourselves with many different technologies and communication services to manage,” explains Allan Hall, IT Manager for Impact XM.
“We wanted a unified platform for as much of our communication as possible—for meetings, for phone calls, for video conferences, even for instant messaging. And we needed a service that would both serve everyone’s needs internally but also help us communicate and collaborate reliably and professionally with clients. RingEX has proven invaluable by rolling all of these functions into one platform that we can manage easily.”
RingCentral enjoys widespread adoption and company-wide use
“We’re a very mobile, very tech-oriented company,” Hall says. “Even when our staff is in the building, they’re often not at their desks but running around to conference rooms or impromptu team gatherings, and they always need to be connected and accessible to each other and to our clients. It’s so great to have this service where you can have everything you need on your mobile phone. We have more than 200 smartphones among our staff, and every one of them has the RingCentral app loaded on it.”
Finally, Hall adds this: “Everyone here uses RingCentral tools all the time, for calls and meetings anywhere and also for online collaborating with the RingCentral Glip app, which every department uses like crazy and has earned some huge advocates across our company. I can’t speak highly enough about RingCentral, and I’m not the only one who feels this way. The other day I reminded one of our executives that I was going to be speaking with RingCentral for this case study, and he smiled and said, ‘I love RingCentral!’”
We have at least 200 smartphones among our staff, and every one of them has the RingCentral app loaded on it.
