RingCentral,
Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of cloud-based business phone
systems, has empowered non-profit education organization Tri-Valley
Learning Corporation to streamline communication among its five
California locations and scale up efficiently as it continues to grow.
Founded in 2005, Tri-Valley Learning Corporation (TVLC) provides public
education options for children in the San Francisco Bay Area’s
Tri-Valley region and in other regions of California. Prior to
RingCentral, each TVLC location used separate on-premises PBX systems,
which presented several obstacles. First, many of the facilities were
temporary and/or leased, which meant a large investment to get phone
systems up and running. The lack of online meeting capability meant
face-to-face conversations and training sessions were necessary,
requiring costly and time-consuming travel. Finally, employees were
often using personal cell phones for work related communication.
“We wanted to feel unified and have a sense of connectivity that our old
PBX systems just could not provide,” says Julie Lassig, director of
development. “Also, whenever any joint work needed to be done, we would
have to pack up and leave, but with RingCentral, we can utilize the
video conferencing and screen-sharing capabilities.”
Because the RingCentral solution is Priority 1 E-Rate certified as part
of schools and libraries universal service support program, TVLC was
able to take advantage of the available discounts under this program.
This allowed TVLC to provide its staff with a flexible, reliable,
state-of-the-art, cloud-based solution at an even more affordable price.
As the organization continues to grow, RingCentral will scale seamlessly
to meet TVLC needs by making it easy to add new users and manage the
entire system across all five or more locations from one dashboard,
accessible from anywhere. With five current locations in Livermore,
Stockton and San Diego, the company plans to continue its expansion.
“One of the things I love about RingCentral is that we can turn our
employees’ cell phones into work phones without giving away personal
information by simply using the RingCentral mobile app,” Lassig says.
“Our IT staff is also looking forward to using RingCentral Meetings to
help staff members with troubleshooting.”
