Updated: January 07, 2011

RingCentral announced today the launch of RingCentral Office in Canada, the industry's first complete, cloud computing based business phone system with one low, flat, fixed monthly fee, no contracts and zero setup costs. Winning a number of prestigious awards since its launch in the United States in 2009, RingCentral Office is designed for small to medium sized businesses. RingCentral Office combines a hosted multi-extension business phone system with advanced voice and fax functionality, unlimited calling and full-featured phones that arrive pre-configured and ready for use. With 97 percent of Canada’s businesses employing fewer than 50 employees, RingCentral Office delivers advanced phone systems that, until today, were unaffordable for these businesses. Small businesses can begin using the RingCentral Office phone system within minutes with the click of a mouse at http://www.ringcentral.ca. RingCentral Office provides small businesses with a full featured business class phone system, without the need for complex hardware, lengthy installation and technical expertise. Small businesses get the functionality and flexibility to easily connect with customers at a fraction of the cost of a traditional on-premise hardware PBX phone system. RingCentral Office includes four key components:

• Complete hosted phone and fax system– multiple extensions, multiple voice mail boxes, call management and call routing for real-time call control, internet fax and more.
• Unlimited local, long distance calling and faxing – anywhere within the US and Canada
• Pre-configured phones – Polycom IP phones delivered ready-to-dial
• Simple pricing model – all-inclusive, low, simple, flat and fixed monthly bill, no contracts 

RingCentral is the industry's first provider to deliver an online, self-service solution to buy, provision and set up an instantly activated business telecommunications system. Small businesses can now utilize a world class business phone system that for many, until now, was unaffordable due to buying complexity and dealing with multiple vendors.
