The Ribbon Connect portfolio leverages advanced tools and streamlined workflows, accelerating service providers' connections to one of the global leaders in unified communications services, and reducing time to market.
"I am excited that Ribbon Communications will join Webex as the launch partner for the Cloud Connect for Webex Calling Enablement Program.
