Case Study: John Varvatos achieves an all-cloud IT transformation and 40–50% communications cost savings with RingCentral

RingCentral® Global Office™ Helps John Varvatos Transform IT

John Varvatos, the contemporary American menswear brand founded in 2000, used its 2012 independence as an opportunity to rebuild IT around a cloud-first vision. VP & CIO Lee Goldenberg aimed to move entirely off-premises and needed a phone solution that supported seamless international calling between New York, London, and Milan while remaining manageable for a six-person IT team.

In 2013 the company deployed RingCentral Global Office (with RingCentral Meetings and the Mobile app), replacing its legacy PBX and convoluted web-conferencing tools. The cloud solution simplified global collaboration with extension-to-extension calling, eased administration, and cut communications costs by an estimated 40–50%, while ongoing support from RingCentral’s customer-success team kept the small IT staff productive.
