RingCentral Inc. announced a broadened partnership with Spectrum Business that will make its RingCX omnichannel contact‑center platform and AI Conversation Expert (ACE) available to Spectrum’s mid‑market and enterprise customers. The two flagship AI‑first products will be integrated into Spectrum’s Unified Customer Experience (UCX) portfolio and delivered over Spectrum’s managed network, with nationwide availability slated for late March 2026.
RingCX unifies voice, video and more than 20 digital channels into a single cloud workspace, while ACE provides real‑time transcription, revenue intelligence, deal‑risk alerts and automated coaching that syncs directly to customer relationship management systems. Together, the solutions offer end‑to‑end visibility across service performance and sales execution, positioning Spectrum’s customers to leverage AI‑driven insights for higher customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Strategically, the expansion targets Spectrum’s mid‑market and enterprise accounts, a segment where RingCentral has been building momentum through its AI‑powered offerings. By embedding RingCX and ACE into Spectrum’s UCX platform, RingCentral gains access to a broader customer base and benefits from Spectrum’s extensive carrier network, which enhances reliability and support for the cloud‑based solution. The partnership aligns with RingCentral’s broader AI strategy, which has seen ARR from new AI‑led products reach approximately $100 million in 2025 and double the proportion of customers using monetized AI solutions to about 10% of overall ARR.
RingCentral’s recent financial performance underscores the relevance of this partnership. In Q4 2025, the company reported total revenue of $644 million, up 5% year‑over‑year, and subscription revenue of $622 million, up 6%. Non‑GAAP earnings per share of $1.18 beat analyst estimates of $1.14, and the non‑GAAP operating margin expanded to 22.8%, a 140‑basis‑point gain from the prior year. The company’s free cash flow reached a record $530 million, up 32% YoY, reflecting disciplined cost management and strong cash generation.
Management guidance for the coming year reflects confidence in continued growth. RingCentral forecasts Q1 2026 revenue of $640–$645 million and full‑year 2026 revenue growth of 4%–5%. Non‑GAAP EPS for FY 2026 is projected at $4.76–$4.97, up from the $4.36 reported for FY 2025. CEO Vlad Shmunis highlighted the accelerated adoption of AI‑powered solutions, while CFO Vaibhav Agarwal emphasized disciplined execution and a commitment to investing in durable growth while maintaining profitability.
Analysts have responded positively to RingCentral’s recent results and the new partnership, noting the company’s strong AI traction and improving financial metrics. The company also initiated its first quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share, signaling confidence in sustained cash flow generation and a commitment to returning value to shareholders.
