Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards are given to companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has leveraged competitive intelligence to execute a strategy successfully that results in stronger market share, competitive brand positioning, and customer satisfaction.
"8x8's portfolio structure has evolved from a primary focus on cloud-based communications solutions to address shifting customer demand for a full suite of contact center capabilities available to users across their organization," said Robert Arnold, principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “The company’s continually enhanced portfolio and streamlined go-to-market strategy encompass the more sophisticated communications and contact centre needs of mid-market and enterprise environments."
In 2018, 8x8 demonstrated its commitment to driving the future of innovation with the launch of 8x8 X Series, which helps businesses transform their customer and employee experience with one system of engagement across voice, video, collaboration and contact centre, and one system of intelligence on a single cloud-based technology platform. With 8x8 X Series, businesses communicate faster and smarter to exceed customer expectations.
“Siloed business communications lead to lost revenues from a variety of inefficiencies, including issues with cross-department employee communications, and poor customer service interactions,” said Vik Verma, CEO at 8x8. “8x8 is focused on harnessing the collective wisdom of an organization in order to deliver superior customer experiences and drive revenue as a result. We are honored to receive this prestigious award recognition from Frost & Sullivan as it continues to reflect our ongoing commitment to helping global businesses operate at the new speed of business with a cloud-based communications technology platform that is comprehensive, scalable, and easy-to-use. 8x8 is the only pure cloud provider with wholly-owned core technology and we continue to believe the X Series is a game changer for the industry.”
