Leading cloud-first WAN company, Aryaka, recently joined forces with transformational business communications company, 8×8. Aryaka, the number one end-to-end managed SD-Wan provider, announced the partnership with 8×8 as part of a global strategy to extend the open communications platform from 8×8 across the SD-WAN service.
This updated joint agreement will help organisations to improve their cloud communications system across the WAN landscape. The result should be improved productivity for employees, and better customer experience too. Aryaka’s recent state of WAN report highlights that customer and employee experience is more important than ever in today’s work-from-anywhere landscape.
Creating a Complete Communications Platform
According to Worldwide Telecom Research VP, Ghassan Abdo, we’re living through unique circumstances that are pushing companies to accelerate towards an online business landscape. SD-WAN, combined with cloud collaboration and communication tools, is a valuable way to support the new digital economy.
8×8’s enterprise communication platform, which includes teaching chat, voice, contact centre solutions, and meetings, offers an all-in-one collaborative space. Combined with Aryaka’s industry-leading service for SD-WAN, the solution should allow companies to enhance IT infrastructure investments and prioritize communications traffic. Joint customers get enhanced access to the 8×8 UCaaS Point of Presence through Aryaka.
The collaboration reduces latency, packet loss, and jitter that often occurs within the public internet. Customers also benefit from real-time overviews of traffic management that include reporting and 8×8 performance monitoring.
An Exciting New Solution
As a leader in managed SD-WAN solutions, Aryaka is in a great place to work with 8×8. According to Matt Carter, the company’s CEO, Aryaka is thrilled to be working with an enterprise communications leader to offer joint partners and customers a more powerful solution.
Matt noted that this valuable offering creates the first genuinely global UCaaS and CCaaS service platform, enabled with SD-WAN. Going forward, the companies will be co-marketing the combined services, and 8×8 will also be reselling the managed SD-WAN service. This bundles global and regional SD-WAN services that come with UCaaS and CCaaS offerings.
According to CEO of 8×8, Vik Verma, the company is committed to helping businesses meet their work from anywhere strategies. Enhancing the 8×8 platform with SD-WAN offers companies advanced productive solutions around the globe. 8×8 already has a great track record of successful deployments with Aryaka at various global enterprises.
