8x8 (News - Alert) is now officially joining Eastern DataComm’s technology product line. Eastern DataComm currently offers VoIP phone systems, networking/cabling, wireless, and cloud communications. By bringing on 8x8, it adds enhanced unified communications, a market that is estimated to reach $96 billion by 2023.


“Offering 8×8, Inc. solutions to our customers was an easy decision for us” says Al Harnisch, President at Eastern DataComm.  “As a UCaaS and CCaaS market leader for midmarket and enterprise companies, 8×8 communications and contact center solutions are a great opportunity for us to continue to grow in this market and provide best-in-class, cloud systems to our customers.”

8x8 has extensive offerings within the UCaaS market, one primed to be worth an estimated $28.69 billion by 2021, with a CAGR of 10.6 percent. These offerings include cloud based communications; integrated voice; collaboration for chat, virtual meetings, fax, and mobile; contact centers; and real-time communications analytics. Along with working aside Eastern DataComm, 8x8 counts ReMax, McDonald’s, Allstate, and Netsuite as some of its customers.

“We are excited to partner with Eastern DataComm and bring added value to their line of communication and safety solutions,” said Christopher Peter, Global Channel Chief for 8×8, Inc. “Our expertise in delivering truly unified cloud communications, collaboration and contact center solutions will pair perfectly with Eastern DataComm’s expertise in the business market in NJ and NY.”

8x8 is in good company as Eastern DataComm counts Adtran, Cisco (News - Alert), Mitel, Masergy, ShoreTel, and Panasonic as just a handful of its partners but the list goes on. This is a great meshing of two feature-rich communications companies.
