Strong Financial Performance, Market Growth
and Continued Global Expansion Secure 8x8’s #1 Ranking
8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), a leading provider of cloud-based
unified communications and contact center solutions, today
announced the company was awarded the #1 ranking
in the IHS Infonetics’ Annual "Cloud UC Service
Provider North American Scorecard" report for the second
consecutive year.
The IHS Infonetics’ 2015 North American cloud UC cloud scorecard
identifies the service providers currently leading the hosted/cloud
unified communications (UC) market and those best positioned to
succeed long term. The rankings are based on criteria including
installed base of seats, financial stability, market strategy,
service capabilities and support options. Service providers making
the top ten list include 8x8 as the returning market leader—rounded
out by Broadview Networks, Comcast, Mitel, RingCentral, Star2Star,
Thinking Phone Networks, Verizon, Vonage and West IP
Communications.
“8x8 is the definitive leader in the hosted UC market for the
second year in a row, as the company successfully continues to move
up-market and builds on strong financial milestones over the last
four years,” said Diane Myers, research director for VoIP, UC and
IMS at IHS Infonetics. “Additionally, 8x8 is helping customers
deliver increased business optimization with a focus on critical
service enhancements, and continues to expand in a number of key
regions across the globe.”
According to the report, “8x8 maintains its strong
leadership in the cloud UC market due to the company’s large
installed base of hosted seats, solid financial statements and
continued execution on its service strategy. 8x8 has consistently
been near the top of Infonetics’ Scorecard and is a long-standing
stalwart of the hosted PBX and UC market, maintaining a strong
position with small businesses and continued growth up-market.”
“We are honored to be awarded Infonetics’ top ranking of cloud
UC service providers in North America for the second consecutive
year,” said 8x8 Chief Marketing Officer Enzo Signore. “It’s an
exciting time for 8x8 as we see strong business acceleration from
our move up-market, and a growing customer base for our cloud
communications solutions that are helping companies deliver a
superior customer experience.”
The report further stated, “Focusing more up-market, 8x8 has
broadened service capabilities to include more comprehensive mobile
clients, offering customers flexibility in where and how they
communicate. Beyond features and applications, they have also added
service level agreements (SLAs) guaranteeing end-to-end service
uptime, reliability and call quality over any broadband network
customers use—public Internet or an MPLS network. Additionally, 8x8
has expanded its international service footprint to better service
companies with operations outside the US.”
