The m9r on Ringcentral

A cloud-based business phone system uses the Internet to deliver all the features of an on-premise PBX—minus the costly setup and the bulky hardware. And since the Internet isn't bound to a specific location, a cloud-based PBX seamlessly integrates multiple locations and remote employees.

RingCentral is one such popular cloud based phone system, designed to help small businesses manage mobile, fax, and email communications. Its products include RingCentral Office, RingCentral Mobile, and RingCentral Fax.

So, today's blog shows how we got the snom m9r up and running with the RingCentral Office™ service.
