In the ever-evolving landscape of business communication, companies are constantly seeking more efficient and integrated solutions. As organizations navigate this digital transformation, many are turning their attention to Zoom Team Chat as a comprehensive platform for their collaboration needs. However, the prospect of migrating from an established system like RingCentral can be daunting. That's where Codimite's RingCentral to Zoom migration service comes in. Codimite recognizes the complexities involved in such a transition and has developed a service that addresses the primary concerns of data integrity, security, and seamless migration.
Why Zoom Team Chat?
- Seamless Video Integration: Zoom excels in video conferencing, and Team Chat integrates flawlessly, creating a unified communication experience.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Zoom Team Chat offers advanced messaging features and customizable workflows, optimizing collaboration for remote and hybrid teams.
- User-Friendly Interface: Zoom boasts a more intuitive interface compared to RingCentral's voice-centric platform.
- Streamlined Communication: Zoom Workplace consolidates calling, meetings, scheduling, and chat into one platform, saving valuable time.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Zoom often offers a lower total cost of ownership while delivering a more comprehensive communication solution.
Extracting Your RingCentral Data
There are two ways to extract data from RingCentral:
- Via RingCentral APIs
- Via RingCentral Message Data Export
We recommend using the Message Data Export feature, as it provides a comprehensive scope compared to the limited scope of APIs. The RingCentral message extracting APIs are still in beta and require individual user authentication, making the process more complex.

Data Migration Capacity
Codimite migration service can migrate data as far back as your RingCentral retention policy allows. RingCentral's Message Data Export option allows users to choose a timeframe for export, ranging from the last 7 days to a custom range up to 180 days. The actual data available for migration will depend on your organization's data retention policy.

Sharing Your Export Files with Codimite
You have two options for sharing your export files:
-
Upload to Your Cloud Storage: Grant Codimite temporary access to your cloud storage for migration purposes. This access will be used solely for migration and will be revoked upon completion.
-
Codimite's Secure Cloud Storage: For those without cloud storage, Codimite offers a secure, encrypted cloud storage solution for sharing your RingCentral chat export data. All data is permanently deleted after migration using industry-standard practices.
Migration Prerequisites
- Exported Message Data Files: Obtain these from RingCentral.
- SuperAdmin Account Access: Required only if migrating files and attachments. (RingCentral exported files contain links to online copies of message file attachments. However, only super admins in your company can access these attachments using the provided links.)
Migratable Data
