In this post, I am highlighting some recent updates by Ribbon. Please reach out if you want to know more or have specific questions.
- RibbonCare Pricing Changes
Due to market conditions, Ribbon in more than 10 years, increased ↑ their price on maintenance services. This is done in order to partially offset the cost increase and to ensure that they can continue to provide the level of services their customers need and expect. The maintenance and support service rates on most of their products have increased by 3% to 5% annually, and formally went into effect on April 1, 2022.

Ribbon performs more than 3,000 upgrades each year.
- Give your SBC a Boost
