8x8, Inc. (EGHT) Earns Microsoft Certification for Teams Calling

What happened

8x8 received Microsoft certification for its session border controller technology for Teams Direct Routing and Operator Connect. The company says services are available to channel partners now, with partner onboarding continuing to expand through Q4 2026. Its voice services cover more than 50 countries.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Certification lets 8x8 offer two ways to connect business phone services with Microsoft Teams using its own infrastructure. That broader offer could help partners sell 8x8 services, but sales growth depends on onboarding leading to customer adoption; no revenue impact is reported.

Analyst inference

This is a product and sales-channel update, not a reported financial result. Services are available to partners, while onboarding continues through Q4 2026. The article gives no customer, adoption, or revenue figures to show whether the wider offer is producing sales.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Track partner onboarding through Q4 2026: a faster expansion could put the new Teams calling services in front of more potential customers. Analyst inference
2. Look for customer adoption and reported sales from the offering; these would show whether certification and partner availability are translating into revenue. Analyst inference
3. Check whether 8x8 provides quantified revenue or customer figures in later updates, since this article reports neither and does not measure commercial impact. Analyst inference
