8×8 announced the launch of 8×8 Virtual Office® Editions. This new suite of products revolutionizes the business communications industry by unifying cloud telephony, collaboration tools, web conferencing and contact centre solutions with a best-in-breed data analytics platform.
This launch represents the most recent outcome of years of both innovation and strategic acquisition by 8×8 aimed at the development of products and solutions that help customers dramatically improve the way they communicate internally and externally.
“Siloed communications systems, such as telephony, team messaging, web conferencing and contact centers, address only isolated functions and segregate valuable business data from key decision makers. This slows productivity, hampers collaboration and impacts customer satisfaction,” said Vik Verma, CEO at 8×8. “Through our technology ownership and innovation, 8×8 unifies these disparate systems on a single cloud communications platform, ensuring companies can easily communicate, collaborate and engage with employees and customers. In addition, businesses can now finally glean valuable insights from every interaction in real time, and unleash the collective power of the entire organization at every connection.”
