The Problem

A 30-person company paid $1,800/mo for a legacy PBX phone system plus $300/mo for a separate video tool. Employees couldn't take business calls on mobile, and the system went down quarterly.

The Solution

Migrated to RingCentral Core at $20/user/mo. All employees got business phone, video meetings, and team messaging in one app on desktop and mobile.

The Result

Phone costs dropped from $2,100 to $600/mo. Zero downtime in first year (99.999% SLA). Employees could take business calls anywhere. Eliminated separate video tool.

💡 ROI Estimate: Tool costs $600/mo. Was paying $2,100/mo. Saves $1,500/mo. ROI: 3.5x on cost alone.
