New capabilities across the 8x8 Platform for CX help teams resolve issues on first contact, streamline follow-ups, and work more efficiently – without added complexity
Customers expect answers instantly, and frontline teams can only meet those expectations with tools that remove friction rather than adding to it. New enhancements from 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading global business communications platform provider, give organizations the ability to resolve issues faster, personalize every interaction, and support frontline employees with simplified, AI-driven workflows.
“Today’s experiences are only as strong as the teams on the front lines and empowered by the right tools,” said Hunter Middleton, Chief Product Officer at 8x8, Inc. “We’re helping our customers deliver speed, clarity, and personalization in every interaction, whether that’s resolving issues on the first touch, following up with confidence, or staying secure in complex environments like retail, healthcare, and manufacturing, to name a few.”
Real-World Outcomes for Service and Operations Teams
