8X8 Revolutionizes Business Communications Industry with the Launch of Virtual Office Editions

SAN JOSE, Calif.-- October 03, 2017-- 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), the leading provider of  truly unified cloud communications, today announced the launch of 8x8 Virtual Office® Editions. This new suite of products revolutionizes the business communications industry by unifying cloud telephony, collaboration tools, web conferencing and contact center 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 8x8 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 8x8. “Through our technology ownership and innovation, 8x8 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.” 8x8, recently named a Leader in the 2017  Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide [1] for the sixth year in a row, is now offering 8x8 Virtual Office in three editions that provide companies powerful enterprise-class business communications features with the flexibility and mix-and-match pricing model that’s best suited for their needs. 8x8 Virtual Office Editions includes everything businesses need to efficiently communicate and collaborate with employees, partners and customers.
