Posted on: Thursday, 18 September 2008, 15:00 CDT
8x8, a US-based provider of Packet8 business, mobile and residential communication services, has executed a technology partnership and marketing agreement with Microsoft to offer Packet8 VoIP phone service for Microsoft's Response Point small business phone system.
Under terms of the agreement, Packet8 and Microsoft Response Point will jointly market the combined solution through their respective VAR channels and will also investigate potential collaboration in selling the combined offering through business retail partners. In addition, both companies will promote the offering on their websites and in select advertising channels.
Bryan Martin, chairman and CEO of 8x8, said: "Our combined solution will allow small businesses, regardless of location or network configuration, to experience the benefits of advanced IP telephony technology while dramatically reducing recurring monthly phone charges. With accessible and compelling telecommunications alternatives like this, no company should feel forced to settle for inadequate, high priced or overly complex telephony systems from legacy telecom providers."
