Adoption for @8×8 Voice for @MicrosoftTeams Rising
“The very deep integration that 8×8 has developed treats Microsoft Teams as a first-class citizen, and vice versa. There is no bait-and-switch here. 8×8 Voice for Microsoft Teams actually enables and betters a ‘pure’ Microsoft Teams solution,” said Dave Michels, founder and principal analyst at TalkingPointz in a recent report about 8×8 Voice for Microsoft Teams. “8×8’s services are delivered seamlessly and transparently to end users via the Microsoft Teams app. The experience is more seamless than cloud-bot integrations. It even outshines Microsoft’s own UCaaS offer in multiple ways, including reliability, global availability, analytics, and versatility.”
