Annual awards recognize channel partners who drove the strongest revenue growth, new customer wins, and year-over-year performance in fiscal year 2026

The partners who earned 8x8's top channel honors this year did it the same way: new customers, real growth, and measurable results. 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), a leading global business communications platform provider, named its 2026 Partner Award winners across nine categories spanning contact center, unified communications, CPaaS, distribution, and technology partnerships. The awards recognize partners who drove the strongest revenue growth, net-new customer acquisition, and year-over-year performance during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

The 8x8 Partner Awards are selected annually based on data weighted across total bookings, year-over-year growth rate, and net-new customer acquisitions. Winners are recognized across North America, EMEA, and ANZ.

"Our partners are at the heart of everything we do at 8x8, and this year's award winners represent the very best of what's possible when we go to market together," said Emily Masterton, Global Head of Channel Sales at 8x8, Inc. "These are the teams who leaned in, pushed hard, and delivered real results for our joint customers. I'm incredibly proud to recognise them, and even more excited about what we're going to build together next."
