8×8 Goes Virtual on Staples.com
8×8 Inc. (EGHT) has landed a distribution deal with office products giant Staples. The Packet8 creator said today it’s selling its Virtual Office hosted PBX system for small businesses on Staples.com.
This marks the third such retail announcement made by companies with channel programs in as many months.
8×8 said Virtual Office reduces the total cost of ownership for telecom services because it requires minimal investment and comes with low-priced calling plans. Through Staples.com, the equipment starts at $79.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate; monthly service starts at $39.99.
“In this tough economic climate, enterprises of every size are examining their day-to-day operating expenses and identifying areas where cost savings could be achieved,” said Huw Rees, 8×8’s vice president of sales and marketing.
Virtual Office includes the standard features such as auto attendant and voice mail.
