"The management and expense of maintaining numerous PBX phone systems and services with more than 20 different competitive local exchange carriers had become exorbitant. The more locations we opened up, the more fragmented we became, leading to diminished communication and productivity. With the 8x8 Virtual Office solution, all of our offices will now be connected under a single, cloud-based phone system at a fraction of what we were spending previously."
