“As more businesses migrate to cloud-based communication and collaboration solutions, it’s crucial our resellers deliver integrated UCaaS and CCaaS tools to improve both customer and employee experiences,” he said. “Together, Synnex and 8×8 will better enable our partners to drive a more fluid migration to a better communications experience through a single, efficient platform.”

Synnex resellers will also be able to offer the 8×8 Voice for Microsoft Teams direct routing solution. Moreover, they can offer 8×8 Contact Center for Microsoft Teams to customers through a single distribution partner.

“As one of the only cloud communications providers offering a resell route to market through a leading distributor such as Synnex, this partnership will be instrumental for our next phase of channel success,” he said. “VARs are an essential guide to organizations undergoing digital transformation as they move off of legacy, on-premises communications and customer engagement systems. Synnex’s partner community will be able to capitalize on a major growth opportunity by offering a single cloud communications and contact center solution with 8×8 XCaaS.”

“On average, 15% of the devices in a small–midsized business consist of Apple products,” he said. “For MSPs to effectively manage these devices, they need to leverage a remote management tool purpose-built for Apple.
