    8x8 (NYSE: EGHT) : Bolstering the Future of Business Communications

    ,John DeLozier, Senior Vice President & Global Channel Chief, 8x8 (NYSE: EGHT) John DeLozier, Senior Vice President & Global Channel Chief

    T raditional on-premises communications systems have always been limited by the physical hardware required wherein legacy telephones had to be plugged into a wired network, thereby limiting the number of PBX servers. While the cloud has put an end to these issues upon the cloud perpetrating into the telecoms market, it would be wrong to think that the long-running debate over Cloud versus on-premises communications solutions has been settled decisively either way. Take for instance the case of UFC GYM who was finding it difficult to manage multiple hardware PBXs for their disparate locations. Troubleshooting problems, configuring systems, and setting up new facilities became a major roadblock in the smooth functioning of the company. It was around this time when UFC GYM switched to 8x8 cloud communications. With 8x8, the company simplywhen they arrive. Through the fully-hosted 8x8 phone system, UFC GYM can now easily update software and hardware fixes and literally establish new locations up and running within the hour.

    In short, 8x8 is transforming the future of business communications through its leading Software-as-a-Service solutions powered by one global cloud communications platform. At heart, 8x8 believes that by integrating voice, video, chat, contact center, and enterprise-class API solutions into one global, secure, reliable cloud communications platform, people are more connected and productive no matter where they are in the world.

Its cloud communications products boost efficiency by consolidating clients’ phone, meetings, team messaging, and cloud contact center into one single platform.

    “Through trusted long-term client relationships, the channel is helping to guide the digital transformation efforts of organizations around the globe as they move off legacy, on-premises communications and customer engagement systems,” said John DeLozier, Senior Vice31 businesses unique insights across all interactions and channels so they can delight end-customers and accelerate their business.

    “Through trusted long-term client relationships, the channel is helping to guide the digital transformation efforts of organizations around the globe as they move off legacy, on-premises communications and customer engagement systems,” said John DeLozier, Senior Vice President & Global Channel Chief at 8x8. “Our channel-first strategy with the 8x8 Open Channel Program has been built on the efforts of our fantastic partners.

The partner program offers tiered levels of dedicated resources for lead generation and conversion, as well as highly customizable, white-glove marketing campaigns to reach prospects. The program also includes activities such as blitz days (8x8’s channel pipeline generation initiative), account planning, product demonstrations, and custom co-branded prospect events.

    In essence, the 8x8 integrated cloud contact center, voice communications, team chat, and video meetings product provides channel partners with a single-vendor solution that helps organizations move off legacy, on-premises systems to the cloud, enabling employees to connect, collaborate, and engage from anywhere with colleagues and customers.

To that end, the company also facilitates in-app and software integrations that upskill and empowers clients with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
