8x8, an integrated cloud communications platform provider, today announced that 8x8 X Series and 8x8 Contact Center are now generally available in Canada through direct sales and channel partners. Canadian businesses can now run 8x8's integrated voice, video, chat, contact center, and enterprise solutions, all of which are built on an open, modern cloud technology platform.
"As part of 8x8's global expansion, we are committed to helping Canadian enterprises modernize their communications infrastructure and transform employee experience and customer engagement," said John DeLozier, senior vice president and global channel chief at 8x8, in a statement. "Our partners are a critical component for enabling this transformation and are helping companies move away from legacy, on-premises systems to cloud communications and contact center solutions."
