8x8 celebrates global partner excellence with 2025 Elevate Awards

The annual program recognizes top-performing organizations around the globe that drive business outcomes using 8x8’s unified platform – 8x8 Platform for CX – which combines contact center, unified communications, and Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) solutions.

“This year’s winners set the standard for what partnership looks like in action,” said Michelle Paitich, Global Vice President, Channel Sales at 8x8, Inc. “They’re not just driving adoption — they’re delivering outcomes.
