Additional tier features include: A highly curated tier of invite-only partners selected for their fit with relevant use cases, capabilities, security features, and more.

Awaken Intelligence, an inaugural SellWith8 partner, offers an integration with the 8×8 contact centre that provides real-time agent guidance and assistance, supported by generative AI. “The 8×8 Technology Partner Ecosystem has already demonstrated remarkable success in meeting the business needs of customers and we’re honored to be one of the first partners to join the SellWith8 tier of the program,” said Simon Black, CEO of Awaken Intelligence. “Initial customer integrations showcase the beginning of what we believe will be a fruitful partnership, allowing us to expand our use case capabilities and attract new customers.” The 8×8 Technology Partner Ecosystem transforms customer experience and engagement by democratizing seamless, next-generation, native integrations for organizations of all sizes without requiring complex, custom development or exorbitant overhead costs that have traditionally only been feasible for the largest enterprises.
