Q4 Newsletter
What a whirlwind of a year! Here at RingCentral we’re on the fast track for innovation and always moving forward. The year 2021 brought around many partnerships, new features, and major changes to some of our key products.
We’ve collected some winning moments from the last quarter, and compiled resources that will help you make 2022 even better with the RingCentral app. Here’s to closing out 2021 with success and taking all our momentum into 2022. May it be our best year yet!
From the Community Team
Community friends,
As we approach the end of the year there is much to be grateful for. My team has stayed healthy and committed to showing up every day to support our Community and the Ideas Portal to stay connected to your bright ideas and support needs.
And we’re grateful for you too - we learn so much from you about new and interesting ways that you use RingCentral products. We learn new use cases and get your fresh perspectives. And we know your unique pain points and challenges. We thank you for sharing all of it with us.
We hope you’ll continue to do so in the coming year and that new opportunities for collaboration will unfold.
In 2022, we are expecting some really cool developments and continued innovation at RingCentral. We’re going to continue to share updates and information with you that will keep you and your team moving in the right direction!
We know 2021 has been a tough one for a lot of folks - for those of you who have struggled with challenges, we salute your strength and perseverance!
I would be remiss if I didn’t call out some customers that really pitched in here in the Community, through Betas, or customer interviews.
So, big thank yous and appreciation to @Cote_Business Systems, @Joe Cache, @Andy Anderson, @bob-robinson, @ronda-tappan, @cglassy, @emily-gore, and @tak-it1!
