8x8 Earns Microsoft Certification to Simplify Global Calling with 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams

Samuel Wilson, Chief Executive Officer at 8x8, Inc.

“Microsoft has been an outstanding partner, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring world-class collaboration to market on Microsoft Teams. Teams is where work happens. Our job is to connect it to customers, partners, and the rest of the world. Certification of our SBC technology lets us deliver that connection directly, removing an unnecessary technology layer and its added costs. For customers, that means simpler global calling. For partners, it means a more competitive offer and a greater opportunity to bring external calling to the millions of Teams users who do not have it today.”

Mahendra Sekaran, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft

“Customers want reliable global calling that fits naturally into the way they work in Microsoft Teams. 8x8’s certified technology and global voice services give customers and partners more choice in connecting Teams to the public telephone network.”

Stephen Hamill, Chief Revenue Officer at 8x8, Inc.

“Partners need global calling they can put their brand on, sell simply, and trust at enterprise scale. We deliver the calling infrastructure while they lead the customer relationship and retain their Microsoft licensing business. With one global contract and no third-party gateway costs, we make it easier for partners to build a competitive, profitable Microsoft Teams calling offer.”
