8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading integrated cloud contact center and unified communications platform provider, today announced that since its launch in March 2023 8x8 Supervisor Workspace has been successfully enabling organizations to improve contact center performance and drive excellent customer experiences. Adoption of the new 8x8 Supervisor Workspace is on track to rival 8x8 Agent Workspace as one of the company’s fastest new product adoptions ever. The value of 8x8 Supervisor Workspace is quickly being recognized as it delivers a personalized, performance-centric workspace that helps supervisors and their teams using 8x8 Contact Center to enhance productivity, and empower leaders with advanced real-time insights across customer journeys.

“Contact center leaders wear many different hats, juggle multiple applications and information streams, and often struggle with maintaining visibility across the entirety of the organization–all while facing the challenges of managing agent performance in a hybrid world,” said Dave Michels, Principal Analyst & Founder at TalkingPointz. “By taking a tailored approach to the problem and unifying all the disparate data sources into a single interface, 8x8 is helping enterprises and supervisors improve agent performance and elevate the customer experience.”

Leveraging input from 8x8 Contact Center customers, 8x8 Supervisor Workspace provides personalized experiences that help increase contact center efficiency while also enhancing customer experiences:

• “On a daily basis, our supervisors and managers require access to the latest information from myriad applications at their fingertips to ensure they can properly drive contact center and agent performance,” said Mark Weingarten, Vice President, Patient Services at Affiliated Physicians. “8x8 Supervisor Workspace is an easy-to-use solution that works out of the box. It will provide our supervisors with optimized visibility of critical contact center data in an intuitive manner, all within a single interface.”

“Modern, cloud-first contact center solutions are making it easier for organizations and agents to improve customer experiences–from AI-driven self-service and intelligent routing to tools designed to help agents provide better service across any channel and interaction. However, supervisors and team leads, who are responsible for ensuring that agents are performing and productive, have been unable to fully benefit from these advances until now,” said Hunter Middleton, Chief Product Officer at 8x8, Inc. “With 8x8 Supervisor Workspace, contact center leaders can now get a holistic view across the organization from a single pane of glass. Providing a personalized space that blends real-time agent information and performance recommendations with customer journey and business insights allows organizations to enhance agent efficiency, performance, and customer engagement.”
