8x8, Inc. ("8x8") is a global provider of integrated customer experience and business communications solutions, purpose-built to unify customer and employee engagement across the enterprise. Our Platform for CX combines contact center, business communications, and application programmable interfaces, or APIs, for communications into a single, secure, AI-powered system that delivers seamless, data-driven interactions. Designed for agility and scale, our platform helps businesses eliminate silos, improve operational efficiency, and turn every conversation into actionable intelligence. By aligning technology with measurable outcomes, we empower organizations to transform how they connect, serve, and grow from first interactions to lasting relationships.
We serve a broad customer base, from small businesses to large global enterprises, across every major industry. Our strategic focus has increasingly shifted toward mid-market, small and mid-sized enterprise, and public sector organizations, particularly those with 500 to 10,000 employees. These customers often have more complex communication and customer service needs and are more likely to benefit from, and invest in, multiple services across our platform. This focus aligns with our strengths, eliminating communication silos and enabling businesses to transform every customer interaction into a strategic asset. We also invest resources in retaining our small business customers, including world class onboarding and customer care specialists that are a single point of contact for all service and support needs.
We reach customers through a diversified go-to-market strategy that includes both direct and indirect channels. We utilize a diversified partner ecosystem to complement our direct sales efforts and expand our global market reach. Our go-to-market strategy includes technology solutions distributors, or TSDs, and their sub-agent networks, who contribute to pipeline growth through referrals. We also engage value-added resellers, or VARs, who market, sell, implement, and support our solutions, helping to drive customer acquisition and optimize our routes to market.
In addition, we collaborate closely with strategic technology partners, particularly those with whom we maintain deep integrations or original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, relationships, via structured referral agreements and coordinated lead flow processes. Our carrier partnerships extend our service availability to over 100 countries and territories, ensuring high-quality, reliable communications that support our international footprint.
