8x8 Customer Additions Reflect Growing Interest in Hosted VoIP and Unified Communications

While hosted communications services have traditionally appealed to very small businesses due to the low cost of entry, fixed monthly pricing and abundance of features, larger enterprises are beginning to migrate toward cloud based solutions to not only reduce operating expenses and IT management costs, but to consolidate regional and remote office locations under a centralized phone service from a single provider.

"While cost savings remains one of the primary reasons businesses migrate to hosted communications services, the features, mobility and associated productivity benefits have become equally, if not more, important to larger enterprises," said 8x8 Vice President of Business & Channel Development Huw Rees. "All of these advantages translate into greater efficiencies on many levels which, ultimately, is what all businesses are looking for."
