RingByName Brings Cloud Communications Options to Malaysia

By | News | No Comments

RingByName, a company that may not be familiar to many users out there, just made a big new move in the Malaysian telecom market, as it recently inked a new agreement with Telekom Malaysia (News – Alert). The agreement calls for RingByName to offer its services in the VADS Marketplace, a complete cloud services marketplace that will offer up an array of services for users in the region.

The marketplace already contains some of the biggest names in cloud services, including Office365 and Skype (News – Alert), but with RingByName also in place, users will get access to that much more capability in the field. With these services on hand, users will be able to step up infrastructure currently in place by adding cloud services that offer new options for users. Since RingByName is perhaps best known for its communications platform—which at last report already has several hundred thousand users to its credit—RingByName should be a welcome addition to the lineup.

Kooi Lim, who serves as RingByName’s CEO, commented, “We are pleased to partner with Telekom Malaysia on this important initiative. Our services have been in demand from small businesses throughout the world. We believe they will be equally valuable for Malaysian and other regional businesses that want to use sophisticated technology to communicate better and reach revenue goals.”

The marketplace looks like it will have a fine slate of cloud services, if not necessarily anything particularly new in certain places. Having a one-stop shopping destination for these services, however, should prove welcome for users in the region who may not have had access to such services before. That doesn’t make these any less useful, and with all of these in one place, Telekom Malaysia has likely poised itself to be a big wheel in the virtual office and cloud services market. Granted, the Malaysian cloud services market may not be a particularly big pie on its own, but having a large piece of a small pie is just about as good as a small slice of a large pie.

Malaysia on this important initiative.

small businesses throughout the world”.    ~ Kooi Lim CEO

It’s likely that Telekom Malaysia will come out of this as a very large fish in a comparatively small pond, and that should be good news for the company so clearly eager to advance virtual office concepts in a region that may not have had too much access to these previously. With services like RingByName’s on its side, it should be even more attractive in the field.

RingByName + VTech = Maximum Value

By | News | No Comments

RingByName’s partnership with VTech, the world’s largest manufacturer of cordless phones, VoIP devices, electronic toys and other fancy electronic stuff, brings the best value to you and your business.  VTech has recently leveraged their long experience making business phones under the AT&T brand (you may have heard of those guys) to release a line of IP phones under the VTech brand.  RingByName is proud to partner with them and provide you with the most advanced VoIP phone service.

The new VTech IP phones are great.  They look great, they work great, and they’re priced at the value-end of the market. Their IP desk phones provide all the needed features and their cordless phones offer business people that aren’t anchored to a desk a great solution for staying connected anywhere in the office.  But their coolest innovation is their conference phones.  Ever been on a conference call with a group of people and you couldn’t hear everybody?  What about being in a group and needing to huddle over a conference phone to all be heard on the other end?  VTech has applied their cordless phone expertise to solve these problems with wireless microphones!  Their conference phone has four wireless, rechargeable microphones that can be placed around the room or even held in the hand of the person talking.  We have one in our office and we love it.

At RingByName we’ve long believed that a phone needs to be reliable, easy-to-use, and inexpensive since all the brains of the phone system should be in the cloud — not the phone or some other box stashed somewhere in your business.  VTech agrees — which might seem surprising.  The truth is that for quite a few years the “hardware guys” like VTech have fought the cloud as a threat to their ability to sell expensive and complicated devices.  Those expensive devices allowed their distributors to make big money upfront and the complexity supported their service model of charging for setup and maintenance.  So what happened?  Did the hardware guys just suddenly change their mind?

I think it’s safe to say that they had their minds changed for them.  It’s simply not possible for an on-premise phone system to keep up with the power and flexibility of a cloud-based system.  A cloud-based solution can be updated regularly and easily; is easy to use and manage from anywhere via a web browser; and scales effortlessly.  So the hardware guys decided to “join ‘em” and we’re happy they did.  It’s an indisputable endorsement of the cloud model for business phone systems when the part of the industry that perhaps is the most threatened — by being forced to offer low-cost, “dumb” endpoints rather than expensive, fancy phone systems — comes around to wholeheartedly supporting the cloud model.
