Case Study: Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology achieves a smooth work-from-home transition with RingCentral

For This Maritime Organisation’s Staff, the Transition to Working from Home Was Smooth Sailing

The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) faced a challenge when COVID-19 lockdowns made remote work necessary, but its legacy phone system was not designed to support a work-from-home team. To keep serving its 18,000+ members worldwide, IMarEST needed a more flexible cloud communications solution, and turned to RingCentral.

RingCentral implemented its cloud communications platform for a limited rollout that helped IMarEST staff transition smoothly to remote work. The new system enabled continued communication and business continuity during lockdown, with the rollout proving successful enough to support the wider organization.
