“Secure, exceptional customer service is not optional today,” said Janice Rapp, Vice President of Product Marketing for Contact Center at 8×8, Inc.

“Any business that has a vision for growth needs a reliable, secure solution that supports customers throughout their journey — regardless of channel — while at the same time growing their agents’ ability to deliver a great customer experience.”

“8×8 Contact Center provides our customers with everything they need.”
