8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq:EGHT), a provider of cloud-based unified
communications, contact center and collaboration services, today
announced that Gartner Inc., the world's leading information
technology research and advisory firm, has positioned the company
in the “Leaders” quadrant of its August 28, 2014 “Magic Quadrant
for Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Multiregional” for
the third consecutive year.
According to the “Ability To Execute” portion of the evaluation
criteria, “Gartner analysts evaluate UCaaS providers based on the
breadth, quality and overall maturity of their applications,
processes, tools and procedures that enhance individual, group and
enterprise communications. Ultimately, UCaaS providers are judged
on their Ability to Execute in capitalizing on their vision.”
"We are honored, once again, to be positioned in the Leader’s
quadrant of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for UCaaS,” said 8x8 CEO Vik
Verma. “Over the past 12 months, we’ve made great progress
expanding our mid-market customer base while enhancing the
security, features and capabilities of our offerings to meet the
complex needs of these highly selective customers. We believe
Gartner’s recognition is a testament not just to the company’s
ongoing leadership in the UCaaS industry, but to the collective
hard work and dedication of the entire 8x8 team.”
As stated in the report, “Vendors in the Leaders quadrant have
been delivering complete UCaaS solutions for multiple years, have
clients with more than 1,000 employees supported and have more than
200,000 total employees supported. These vendors have their
accounts implementing a comprehensive and integrated UCaaS solution
set that addresses the full range of market needs, along with the
proven ability to service large accounts. These vendors have
defined migration and evolution plans for their products in core
UCaaS areas and are using their solution sets to acquire new
clients, as well as to expand their footprints in their client
bases to new functional areas.”
