Now Available to All Channel Partners and Customers Globally; Strong Adoption Momentum Validates Demand for Empowering Frontline and Expert Teams Across the Organization
As customer experience continues to expand beyond traditional service departments, organizations need a scalable way to empower every customer-facing team by giving them the flexibility and autonomy to engage on their terms, without sacrificing visibility or accountability. In response, 8×8, Inc. , a leading global business communications platform provider, announced the general availability of 8×8 Engage, now available globally across all of 8×8’s channels.
Customer conversations no longer happen in one place. They happen in retail stores, on service floors, in healthcare facilities, and across distributed teams. Each of these interactions is an opportunity to build loyalty, resolve issues faster, and drive better outcomes.
“The way organizations deliver customer experience has fundamentally changed,” said Hunter Middleton, Chief Product Officer at 8×8, Inc. “They need every customer-facing team to engage with consistency, intelligence, and accountability. To do this, we’re bringing advanced customer engagement tools out of the contact center and making them available and easily accessible to front line teams across the organization. With 8×8 Engage now generally available globally – including through our channel partners – we’re making that possible at enterprise scale, on the same unified platform our customers already rely on.”
Strong adoption momentum
Growth since launch tells a clear story:
The number of customers adopting Engage has exceeded 150% growth, compared to same period last year
Daily active new customers have increased nearly 5X year over year
Daily active users have grown more than 4X year-over-year
This momentum reflects a clear enterprise need: as customer experience expands beyond service departments, organizations require a scalable way to bring visibility and accountability to every customer-facing interaction, wherever it happens.

“We chose 8×8 Engage to give our teams greater flexibility across sites, and it’s changed how we manage customer interactions,” said Jake Blowers, Head of Projects and Innovation at Motus Commercials. “Our colleagues can now take calls wherever they are – whether at their desk, in the workshop, or on the move – which has significantly reduced missed opportunities. The result is a more responsive customer experience and greater operational agility across our business.”
