8x8 announced a new milestone in the company’s history. On May 31, 2011, 8x8 surpassed 25,000 businesses subscribing to its cloud VoIP, video conferencing, unified communications and managed hosting services.

Recently named one of the top five hosted VoIP and UC service providers in the Infonetics Research 2011 North American Business VoIP Services Leadership Scorecard, 8x8 has seen increasing demand for its services from small and medium-sized businesses as well as large distributed enterprises and government organizations. Cloud-based communications services like 8x8 Virtual Office and Virtual Office Pro are being adopted by more and more businesses today due to the economic and productivity gains realized when costly, premises-based hardware and software systems are replaced with SaaS applications hosted by a third party provider.

8x8’s core service offerings include the Virtual Office hosted VoIP business phone service, a cloud-based, enterprise-grade telephony solution that enables a business to replace a traditional premises-based PBX phone system with a money-saving alternative that leverages the power and accessibility of broadband Internet connections. For even greater communications capabilities, businesses can choose the 8x8 Virtual Office Pro web-based UC solution which combines Virtual Office business phone service with unlimited web conferencing with video, call recording and archiving, chat, Internet fax, presence and voicemail management, as well as a mobile iOS and Android application.
