Press Release – 1 November 2021
Sydney, 1 November 2021 – ADDCOM, a leading value-added distributor, recording, transcription and analytics provider and hardware manufacturer, today announced a strategic distribution agreement with 8×8, a leading integrated cloud communications platform provider.
Under the terms of the agreement, 8×8 will provide access to 8×8 XCaaS (eXperience Communications as a Service) to ADDCOM’s partner community of value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and system integrators.
8×8 XCaaS includes fully integrated, cloud-native contact centre, voice, team chat, and meetings capabilities in a single-vendor solution for employee communications, collaboration and customer engagement. Built on the resilient, secure, and compliant 8×8 eXperience Communications Platform, 8×8 offers the highest levels of reliability and the industry’s only financially-backed, platform-wide 99.999 percent SLA across an integrated cloud UCaaS and CCaaS solution.
This distribution agreement enables ADDCOM to offer a leading cloud communications platform in conjunction with its exclusive hardware and software offerings.
Craig Alvarez, CEO of ADDCOM, said, “In the increasingly competitive landscape of UCaaS and CCaaS, it’s more important now than ever to offer clients a competitive suite of solutions to enhance the experience of users. 8×8 combined with ADDCOM’s service offerings will provide a complete set of solutions above the benchmark for our industry.”
“Indeed, our collection of communications solutions is serviced and supported by our experienced, knowledgeable, and local team of engineers, most of whom have had over 15 years experience at our organisation. We are excited to see how 8×8 continues to assist us in allowing our reseller network to adapt existing client bases to the hybrid workforce and adopt a multi-cloud strategy within their technology stack.”
ADDCOM’s exclusive ‘Amortiser’ program provides its channel distribution community with a Hardware-as-a-Service program that gives every organisation access to the latest peripheral technology at the lowest price, with no upfront expenditure and full maintenance. Additional program benefits allow end-user customers to improve cash flow with monthly payments, reduce downtime with full maintenance and simplify asset management.
Current and future resellers will now be able to take advantage of this program to offer an enhanced suite of cloud communications solutions based on the 8×8 XCaaS solution portfolio.
Michelle Marlan, Senior Channel Manager for 8×8, said “We’re looking forward to leveraging the well-established ADDCOM channel distribution community to support their ongoing growth, ability to target different market segments and, ultimately meet the demands for integrated cloud communications platform as businesses look to put strategies in place to emerge stronger in 2022.”
