Following the footsteps of fellow NHL teams, The Anaheim Ducks and Honda Center have announced a new partnership with a cloud communications provider to help transform employee and customer experiences through cloud technologies outside of the rink.


8x8, a cloud communications platform provider, plans to enhance the Honda Center’s cloud infrastructure through its integrated cloud voice, team chat, meetings and contact center solution. The Ducks worked closely with Insight Enterprises to access the demands of the organization, shifting away from on-premises communications and contact center solutions in favor of more practical cloud technologies.The decision to move beyond legacy communications should come as no surprise, as cloud technology has skyrocketed during the pandemic.

“Our efforts off the ice, including modernizing the digital workplace, are driven by our goal of delivering the ultimate fan experience. Partnering with 8x8, a leading provider of unified communications and contact center solutions, and moving communications and engagement to the cloud will be a critical component for the success of this strategy,” said Jackie Slope, Vice President, Information Technology at The Anaheim Ducks and Honda Center.

Both the Ducks and the Honda Center will take advantage of 8x8’s cloud technologies such as deep reporting and analytics, SMS capabilities, and enhanced voice quality. The Ducks also plan to use 8x8 cloud communications services for post-game press conferences. The overall goal of the partnership is to improve fan engagement, create reliable service, all while working remotely.

 “We’re thrilled to provide the Anaheim Ducks and Honda Center with a single platform for communications and customer engagement as we help them transform the employee and fan experience, and support their future growth initiatives.”, Steve Seger, Chief Revenue Officer at 8x8, Inc.
