Industry-Leading Technology Services
Distributor with Over 1,700 Sales Partners Adds 8x8 to its
Portfolio of UCaaS and CCaaS Suppliers to Capture Growing Demand in
Mid-Market and Enterprise Segments
2015 CHANNEL PARTNERS CONFERENCE & EXPO -- 8x8, Inc.
(NASDAQ:EGHT), a leading provider of cloud-based unified
communications and contact center solutions, today announced it has
signed a Platinum Supplier Partnership agreement with Intelisys,
the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor of business
communications services including voice, data, access, cable,
collaboration, wireless and cloud.
As a Master Agent for an elite network of telecom consultants
and value-added resellers, Intelisys is focused on empowering the
independent sales channel by helping business telecom customers
make informed choices about services, technology and cost
savings.
“Our mission at Intelisys is to provide our Sales Partners with
all of the training, tools and technology solutions they need to be
successful,” said Andrew Pryfogle, Senior Vice President, Cloud
Transformation, for Intelisys. “As such, we are excited to add an
industry leader like 8x8 to our Platinum Supplier community. With
its broad portfolio of services, outstanding security and
reliability credentials, and global presence, 8x8’s solutions will
be a great asset for our Sales Partners as they continue to capture
the growing demand for cloud based alternatives to legacy
communications systems.”
Intelisys offers a diverse portfolio of solutions hand-picked to
meet the demands of its Sales Partner community. Suppliers are
chosen to fill specific product niches and must meet strict
criteria both in terms of commitment to the channel and quality of
services including financial stability, competitive products and
commissions, and ease of doing business in a two-tiered
distribution model.
8x8’s complete suite of integrated cloud communications services
will be added to the Intelisys portfolio, including Virtual Office
business phone service, Virtual Office Pro unified communications,
Virtual Office Analytics big data assessment and reporting tools
and Virtual Contact Center, an easy-to- deploy omnichannel call
center solution that can be implemented separately or as an
integrated component of a Virtual Office deployment. All of 8x8’s
solutions offer built-in security compliance (including HIPAA, SOX
and FISMA), disaster-preparedness functionality and global
availability to support the growing demands of today's mobile,
BYOD, anytime/anywhere work environment.
“The selection of 8x8 as a Platinum Supplier Partner is a huge
endorsement of our leadership in the industry and success selling
into the mid-market,” said 8x8 Senior Vice President of Global
Sales, Puneet Arora. “We are looking forward to working closely
with Intelisys leadership and Sales Partners to educate customers
about the numerous business benefits of transitioning to the cloud
and ways in which 8x8’s compelling suite of services can contribute
to their productivity and growth.”
In addition to its Platinum Supplier Partnership, 8x8 is also a
sponsor of the Intelisys Cloud Services University, the only online
education center built exclusively for channel sales professionals.
In 2014, 89% of Intelisys Sales Partner cloud wins came from those
who participated in the Intelisys Cloud Services University.
8x8's cloud-based software platform provides a comprehensive,
secure and easy-to-use suite of unified communications and contact
center services. In addition to replacing traditional on-premises
systems with more cost effective, flexible alternatives, 8x8

enterprise applications and IT systems.
