8x8, parent company of UK-based 8x8 Solutions, has been ranked number one on Infonetics Research Sixth Annual North American Business VoIP Service Leadership Scorecard.
According to the report, Infonetics Research named 8x8 the leader of this year's VoIP leadership scorecard due to its solid financial position (10 out of 10 ranking) and the continued strong growth of its installed base. The report cited 8x8's publicly traded company status and its ability to post net profits with positive cash flow.
"8x8 has been one of the dominant players in the business VoIP and cloud-based unified communications industry for several years, and emerged as the decisive leader this year due to its solid financial position, continued strong growth of its installed base, service enhancements and geographic expansion," said Diane Myers, principal analyst for VoIP, UC and IMS at Infonetics Research.
"In addition, 8x8 has made significant inroads moving upmarket to serve larger, distributed enterprise customers. Many of these larger deals are with organisations that are highly distributed, where the benefits of cloud across many locations is readily apparent. This is an important trend we've seen emerging and one we believe will impact the competitive landscape."
8x8 CEO Vik Verma added: "Since we began offering our cloud-based business communications services in 2004, 8x8 has been committed to technological innovation, service quality, reliability and security, customer service and consistent, profitable growth. We are proud of what we have accomplished under these guiding principles and look forward to helping many more thousands of businesses optimise their business performance and growth with our cloud communications solutions."
