Welcome to the 8x8 Partner-First Community

When you’ve walked a mile in someone else’s shoes, you gain a unique understanding of their experiences, challenges and thought processes. You also develop empathy for their struggles, an appreciation for their perseverance and shared excitement for their success.

All year long, but especially at this time of year, I’m thankful and honored to say my career includes walking in a partner’s shoes, and not just for a mile. Serving as a long-time business owner and executive of a system integration and application development company—focused on unified communications, collaboration and call center implementations—gave me extraordinary insight into, and appreciation for, the partner community. As 8x8’s Global Channel Chief, I use that experience every day to guide my team in fostering a partner-first community where creating channel programs that are purpose-built to drive benefits to partners and their customers is top of mind.

One Platform = Zero Complexity

At 8x8, we’re all part of the partner community. An 8-time leader in the Gartner UCaaS Magic Quadrant, our priority is delivering reliable solutions to customers that our partners can confidently stand behind. Designed to help customers operate at the new speed of business, 8x8 provides one global cloud communications platform for voice, video, chat and contact center. With 8x8, customers optimize valuable moments of engagement with built-in analytics to achieve faster time to resolution, lower costs and better customer experience. Whether deploying simple voice services or an omnichannel contact center, 8x8 can help.

8x8 X Series delivers reliability and allows customers to stop paying for, administering and maintaining separate audio and video conferencing applications. Predictable, low fees can slash total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers as can an easy-to-deploy cloud-based solution. Future-proof and built on proprietary technology that’s been internally-developed and is 8x8 owned, our one global cloud communications solution accelerates business for customers and opportunities for partners.

Unrivaled Partner Support

Joining the 8x8 leadership team has given me the chance to advocate for the reseller community and revisit my roots in unified communications.
