About Ringcentral, Inc.
About Ringcentral, Inc.
RingCentral's unified communications platform, RingEX, is available in 45 countries with phone number availability in 100 countries, while the contact center product RingCX extends across omnichannel digital and voice channels. Subscription revenues exceeded 90% of total revenues in 2025, with approximately $250 million planned for research and development in 2026. RingCentral employed 7,378 personnel as of December 31, 2025, with approximately 74% located outside the United States across approximately 36 countries.
RingCentral earns revenue through tiered subscription plans for RingEX (UCaaS) and RingCX (CCaaS), priced by user count and functionality, with usage-based pricing emerging for AI-led products. Monthly, annual, and multi-year contract terms serve customers from small businesses to enterprise. The company sells through both a direct inside sales force and an indirect network of resellers, distributors, and global service providers. RingCentral Contact Center depends on licensed technology from NICE Ltd., a third-party dependency the 10-K names explicitly, raising questions about the ability to offer customers an alternate solution. Infrastructure runs on private clouds and public cloud services from Amazon and Google. Named competitors include Microsoft Teams, Cisco Systems, Zoom Communications, and 8x8.
Show full overview
RingCentral's international expansion subjects the company to overlapping communications regulations: Ofcom in the United Kingdom, the CRTC in Canada, the EU Electronic Communications Code covering PSTN-connected voice service providers, and the Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2), which imposes 'heavy financial consequences for failures to comply.' Domestically, subsidiary RCLEC holds certification as a competitive local exchange carrier in two states and IP-enabled Service Provider registration in eleven additional states, subject to both FCC rules and individual state public utility commission requirements.
