CUSTOMER STORY

How Early Childhood Alliance reduced costs by 25% after moving from RingCentral to 8x8

Early Childhood Alliance (ECA) is a nonprofit organization that provides early education services to children across northern Indiana. ECA originally moved to the cloud several years ago, ditching their basic Nortel PBX for a cloud solution with RingCentral.

After a few years, the organization became frustrated with RingCentral’s pricing structure and feature set. A few key features, such as Caller ID and single sign-on, were not included in their pricing tier, nor were they available a la carte. On top of that, the company kept changing its approach to the collaboration experience, particularly around Glip integration. “It was a really confusing user experience,” said Nick Claypool, Director of IT at ECA.

When ECA began searching for a new solution, 8x8 stood out as the top choice because of its top-tier integrations, features, and streamlined approach.
