Unified Communications giant RingCentral have entered a partnership with collaboration specialists Avocor.

The union will see RingCentral Rooms for Touch brought to the market, with a new series of Avocor Collab Touch displays set to be released with the software built-in.

RingCentral Rooms for Touch will allow users to join and end meetings, digital whiteboarding and on-screen annotation all by using a touchscreen.

Jeff Boggess, Senior Product Marketing Manager of RingCentral Rooms, commented that the partnership makes RingCentral’s software even easier to use than before.

He said: “In our hybrid workplaces, meetings are often a mix of in-person and virtual.

“Meeting rooms not only provide a physical space for productive sessions, but also bridge the gaps for in-office and remote participants.

“That’s why we’re excited to announce a new partnership with a leading global provider for touchscreen interactive displays, Avocor, as well as some additional exciting innovations in RingCentral Rooms.

“Our newest partner, Avocor, makes RingCentral Rooms more equitable, inclusive, interactive, and user-friendly than ever before.”

Avocor’s Collab Touch displays feature an edge-to-edge display, Avocor UiQ (a new Smart touch-enabled user interface) and are compatible with Logitech’s Rally Bar, which, according to Avocor, gives the best meeting experience.

A beta for desktop is currently available for RingCentral’s whiteboard feature and is set to be rolled out fully later this summer.

The company has not given a timeframe on when Avocor’s Collab Touch displays and RingCentral Rooms for Touch will be released but stated both will be available soon.

This latest announcement follows RingCentral and Mitel launching the first certified devices of their UCaaS partnership back in April.

At the time, the pair revealed that Mitel’s 6900 range is now endorsed for use on RingCentral’s MVP platform.
