8×8, Inc. has new services now that can replace traditional premise-based telephone “key systems” used by companies where employees share common phone lines, regardless of location. The new Packet8 hosted Internet Protocol (IP) telephony features the Packet8 675xi series of IP desktop phones. It also adds shared line appearance services to the Packet8 Virtual Office platform.
“With the introduction of the Packet8 hosted key system solution, 8×8 has expanded its addressable market to include the millions of businesses that require shared line appearance services rather than the PBX functionality offered with our Packet8 Virtual Office hosted iPBX solution,” said 8×8 Vice President of Sales & Marketing Huw Rees. “Our new line of IP phones has enabled us to deploy one of the first hosted key system services in the world, enabling businesses to benefit from the lower costs associated with VoIP while maintaining the familiar key system feature set they are used to. As with all of our other business services, we also maintain the capability of having the IP phones situated at any location anywhere in the world, enabling one of the first distributed, hosted, multi-office/home-office shared line appearance services in the market.”
The system also includes searchable corporate directories, direct intercom paging and shared line appearance functionality.
