Ours represents the true definition of partnership and we look forward to many more successes together."

"We are thrilled to have received this recognition. TBI is not only an incredible Master Agent, but they are currently 8x8's all time leader in revenue," said John DeLozier, Channel Chief at 8x8. "We love their commitment to the channel, and investment in not only 8x8 but in Generation CX."
