The RingCentral app works on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, and is supported broadly across operating systems. In support of increased remote work, faculty and staff will be able to work from anywhere with RingCentral, which will use their Cornell phone number to communicate across devices.

The service is easy to use, secure, and reliable it supports apps and integrations with other frequently used Cornell services like Office 365, Canvas, and Salesforce. RingCentral will improve on the current telephone system and infrastructure, which cannot be upgraded and needs to be replaced. Cornell Information Technologies will be working with each college, school, and unit to determine an appropriate timeline for transferring to the new campus phone system. Over the next two years (late 2020-2022), Cornell will roll out a new cloud-based phone system, RingCentral, to replace the existing campus telephone service.
