5 Reasons Why You Should Use The RingCentral Cloud App for Salesforce
I’m a big fan of apps that just work. Once setup properly, a good app should be simple to use and make life easier. Historically, CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) apps have been high maintenance so for the most part, I’ve steered clear. As long as you have the exact hardware and software setup that the CTI app required you may be OK, but how many SMBs have the time to bother. If it’s complicated, limited and aggravating, only companies desperate for CTI will move forward with the implementation. Regardless, who wants to be the consultant telling a client things like: “You have a Mac…sorry you’re out of luck!” or “You need to install the windows application, then make sure it’s running in the system tray.” or “It’s still not working? Try uninstalling and reinstalling again.” The RingCentral Cloud App for Salesforce eliminates those headaches.
