Regus Selects 8x8 to Deploy Enterprise Cloud Communications Across Network of Global Business Centers
8x8 (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading provider of cloud-based unified
communications and contact center solutions, today announced a global
deal with Regus, the leading global workplace provider, to deploy its
cloud-based enterprise communications service. Regus selected 8x8 for
the company's innovative technology roadmap, global presence, business
mobility, call quality and robust delivery features to help them
effectively and securely run their worldwide communication and
collaboration service.
The initial deployment of 8x8's Enterprise Communications (News - Alert)-as-a-Service
(ECaaS) solution is planned across the U.S. and Europe. Following the
initial deployment, 8x8 will continue to deploy its enterprise
communications service to the rapidly growing number of Regus business
centers worldwide. Today, Regus operates out of over 2,500 locations
across 106 countries and is an LSE listed company which recorded
double-digit revenue growth during the first half of the year. Companies
like Google, Toshiba (News - Alert) and GlaxoSmithKline choose Regus so that they can
work flexibly and make their businesses more successful.
Andre Sharpe, Chief Information and Innovation Officer at Regus, said,
"By partnering with 8x8, we can now offer our customers an innovative
and cost effective communication and collaboration service. As a Gartner (News - Alert)
Magic Quadrant Leader, 8x8 was a natural choice to give our customers
the level of quality and service they expect from Regus. We have
identified the first 140 sites, and thereafter we plan to roll-out 8x8
service across our global footprint."
Regus plans to significantly enhance their full-service communication
and collaboration offerings through its new deal with 8x8. Prior to
moving to the cloud, Regus was unable to offer a buiness phone service
with key features such as mobility, multi-channel communications and
presence-enabled directories. By selecting 8x8, Regus has ensured its
customers have access to the most advanced enterprise communications
tools to increase their business flexibility and productivity.
Vik Verma, CEO of 8x8, said, "We are honored to team with a business
innovator like Regus to deliver our innovative ECaaS solution on a
global scale to enable their customers to work more efficiently and
flexibly anywhere in the world. Regus is leading the market by offering
a continuous communications experience enabling their customers to be
connected to their Regus office line anytime, anywhere."
Regus' customers will have access to world-class, enterprise-grade
telephony that allows them to have a continuous communications
experience, with the ability to seamlessly switch from chat, messaging
and voice while roaming across multiple networks, such as 3G/4G LTE (News - Alert) and
Wi-Fi. Additionally, Regus clients will have the added flexibility to
suit their personalized business needs, taking their communications
service with them wherever they are in the world.
