Computer History Museum and RingCentral Partner to Modernize Communications Across Historical Bay Area Institution

RingCentral is the museum’s official enterprise cloud communications partner

RingCentral, Inc., a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, collaboration, and contact center solutions, announced a new multi-year partnership with The Computer History Museum, based in Mountain View, California. RingCentral will be the museum’s enterprise cloud communications partner, bringing a modern and unified communications infrastructure—including messaging, video and phone—to the Bay Area-based institution.

The Computer History Museum is a nonprofit organization with a four-decade history as the world’s leading institution exploring the history of computing and its ongoing impact on society. Over the last several years, the museum started to digitally transform the institution in order to extend its reach to various audiences virtually across the globe. Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the museum accelerated these initiatives by transitioning to an all-digital format, offering digital tours and video content across its various channels. With RingCentral, the museum will be able to accelerate these initiatives by enabling employees and partners to communicate from any location, on any device, across any mode – all from a single application, while leveraging the technology to cater to global audiences virtually.
