New 8×8 XCaaS features enhance company-wide collaboration to boost employee and customer experience, including:

Work

• Advanced moderation features: Addresses the needs of a hybrid work environment by enabling advanced enterprise capabilities to manage and moderate large meetings, such as company or department-wide town halls and classroom sessions. Includes the ability to mute and turn off video for all participants, and disable content sharing to run effective meetings.
• Meet from anywhere: Satisfies the needs of a mobile and distributed workforce and allows for increased meeting engagement from any location or device. 8×8 Work now supports 500 active participants across desktop and mobile apps, web browser, and audio dial-in. 8×8 Work users can also seamlessly switch from one device to another with just a click without leaving the meeting.
• Real-time in-meeting interactions: Keeps a pulse on meetings and enhances participant engagement using in-meeting polls to elicit real-time feedback, and leverages emoji reactions for non-verbal cues, such as hand claps, thumbs up, and more.
• Meeting analytics: Streamlines system management and offers real-time metrics and actionable insights to IT teams on meetings performance, powered by 8×8 callstats.
• Enhanced receptionist functionality: 8×8 Frontdesk, a new 8×8 XCaaS composed experience for high volume call handling, transforms the receptionist role by delivering a tailored experience and user interface that is natively enabled within the 8×8 Work app. This eliminates the need for additional applications to install or support, and also removes any dependency on additional third-party solutions.
• Expanded Global Reach: With the addition of Japan, Russia, and Puerto Rico, 8×8 Global Reach now delivers full Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) replacement services to 46 countries and territories. This provides multinational organizations with access to in-country enterprise-grade PSTN connectivity, local direct inward dial (DID) numbers, global dialing plans, and emergency services.
