8x8, a publicly owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1987 and employs approximately 2,370 individuals. The company operates as a provider of Voice over IP products, offering cloud-based voice, contact center, video, mobile, and unified communications solutions for businesses.
On April 30, 2026, 8x8 Inc. earned five Stevie Awards in The 24th Annual American Business Awards, including two Gold honors for Customer Service Team of the Year and Achievement in Management, across customer service technology and management categories. Earlier the same day, 8x8 warned organizations that a lack of connected visibility and communication across distributed teams creates measurable customer experience liability, particularly for frontline teams operating without the context available to support teams. Previously, on April 28, the company was shortlisted for the Technology Reseller Awards in the UC and Contact Centre Vendor of the Year category, attributing the recognition to enhanced product capabilities, stronger channel partner support, and ongoing UK market expansion over the past year.
