“Enterprises with globally distributed operations and workforce are changing the communications and customer engagement dynamic due to hybrid work, making it imperative for organizations to select the best solution to meet their needs,” said Denise Lund, Research Director, WW Telecom and Unified Communications at IDC. “8×8 is able to deliver reliable, consistent service in 50 countries with its 8×8 XCaaS integrated cloud communications and contact center solution, allowing global organizations, especially those with customer-facing operations, to ensure business resilience, reduce complexity, and deliver enhanced service.”

Adding Indonesia and Thailand, with a combined population greater than the United States, dramatically expands 8×8 Global Reach™ within Southeast Asia. Multinational organizations operating in the two countries previously had to rely on the combination of locally-hosted third party gateways and VPNs to allow their offices, contact centers, and employees to connect reliably to the PSTN. This was costly, complex, and created potential points of failure for enterprises needing to connect employees and customers both inside and outside of the country. 8×8 XCaaS, leveraging the patented 8×8 Global Reach technology, now offers multinational organizations a differentiated, fully compliant, and high-quality integrated cloud telephony and contact center service in Indonesia and Thailand for domestic and international business communications. Additionally, 8×8 XCaaS is financially backed by the industry’s only platform-wide 99.999 percent SLA across an integrated cloud UCaaS and CCaaS solution.
“With the addition of Indonesia and Thailand, 8×8 is now the first to offer a fully cloud-based, integrated unified communications and contact center solution for multinational enterprises operating in 50 countries,” said Meghan Keough, Senior Vice President of Product and Corporate Marketing at 8×8, Inc. “As 8×8 XCaaS continues to broaden its global reach, we are allowing multinational enterprises to meet their evolving hybrid workforce requirements, and enhance communications, collaboration, and customer engagement, regardless of location.”
