Vodafone Business Ireland and RingCentral, a leading provider of AI-driven cloud business communications, contact centre, video and hybrid event solutions, have launched Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral for organisations of all sizes in Ireland.
Previously available in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and the UK, this cloud-native unified communications solution enables seamless communication and collaboration across devices and locations. Designed for the demands of hybrid and remote work, Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral gives Irish businesses the flexibility to connect teams, customers and partners from virtually anywhere while maintaining security and reliability.
Market indicators show strong momentum for cloud-driven unified communications in Ireland. According to research by the Cavell Group, unified communications cloud penetration in Ireland currently stands at 43.7% and is projected to grow to more than 80% by 2028. This growth follows broader workplace trends: Ireland is among the European leaders in remote or hybrid work opportunities, which increases demand for resilient, easy-to-deploy communications platforms that support distributed workforces.
Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral delivers a comprehensive set of collaboration tools, including team messaging, high-quality video meetings and a fully featured cloud telephony system. The platform is designed to streamline workflows and improve employee productivity while reducing the operational overhead associated with legacy voice systems. It also supports integrations with widely used business applications, helping teams stay productive without switching between multiple tools.
A key advantage of the RingCentral platform is its AI capability. Conversation intelligence and AI-driven insights help organisations extract actionable data from calls and meetings, enabling better customer engagement, faster issue resolution and more informed decision-making. These features are especially valuable for contact centres and sales teams seeking to boost performance and improve the customer experience.
John McCarthy, Head of Product & Partner for Vodafone Business Ireland, commented: “Workplace needs are changing, and legacy voice technologies such as PSTN are sunsetting. Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral is a uniquely flexible communication and collaboration solution that will help businesses take control and become more efficient, agile and future-ready, while delivering world-class connectivity and service for better customer experience.”
Lee Williams, AVP International Service Providers at RingCentral, added: “We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Vodafone Business as we broaden our European footprint to Ireland, delivering enterprise-grade communications to businesses of all sizes. Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral offers a tailored solution fostering productivity and adaptability so organisations can facilitate successful hybrid work.”
Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral is now available in Ireland to new and existing Vodafone Business customers. Organisations interested in adopting a cloud-first communications platform can contact Vodafone Business Ireland for details about deployment, pricing and integration options.
