8×8 Enters a Strategic Partnership With ULAP

8×8 has entered a strategic partnership with ULAP Networks.

ULAP, known for sovereign-ready connectivity in complex jurisdictions, will provide the regulatory expertise and local interconnects that complement 8×8’s global customer experience platform, helping to expand reliable connectivity in regions where compliance and infrastructure challenges have traditionally limited access.

The collaboration aims to address a long-standing issue for multinational organizations: inconsistent network performance across borders. “This partnership is about solving a fundamental problem that many enterprises quietly endure,” said Sam Wilson, Chief Executive Officer at 8×8.

“Global operations need more than just platforms – they need dependable connectivity that ensures every call, message, or interaction reaches its destination quickly and securely. By partnering with ULAP, we are ensuring that our customers don’t have to choose between global reach and local reliability.”

Since its launch earlier this year, the partnership has already supported customer deployments and opened access to previously hard-to-reach markets.

By combining ULAP’s cloud-agnostic connectivity with 8×8’s architecture, organizations can reduce latency, minimize jitter, and maintain compliance in jurisdictions with strict regulatory frameworks.

“Our partnership with 8×8 reinforces the shared mission to deliver enterprise-grade, agile, and resilient communications for modern businesses,” said Dominic McDonald, Chief Executive at ULAP.

“By combining 8×8’s CX platform with ULAP’s compliance-led connectivity, customers can deploy faster, meet local requirements with confidence, and deliver resilient communications at scale.”

The initiative is part of 8×8’s broader 2025 strategy to increase its global footprint and strengthen its role as a trusted provider of customer experience solutions in diverse markets.
