"The ideal unified communications and collaboration architecture enables individuals to collaborate via integrated voice, video, or messaging, through a unified interface that extends to back-office, field workers, and customer service agents alike. And a single-vendor, end-to-end approach not only offers end-user benefits, including reduced task switching and improved collaboration and productivity, but also optimizes total cost of ownership (TCO) as well," said Irwin Lazar, President & Principal Analyst at Metrigy. "Our analysis of real-world operating costs of more than 560 end-user organizations found that a single-vendor approach results in 56 percent lower TCO compared to a multi-vendor strategy with the key areas of savings include staffing, licensing, and the cost of managed services." "Organizations recognize the importance of modern communications experiences for powering business agility, especially as they drive new work requirements for a distributed workplace," said Rob Pilgrim, Global Vice President of Product Management at 8x8, Inc. "We continue to innovate across 8x8 XCaaS, allowing organizations and their employees to maximize productivity and responsiveness as they collaborate from anywhere, on any device in the app of their choice."
