In a statement sent to CRN, Brendan Maree VP of Sales Asia Pacific for 8x8 said,
“I wanted to thank everybody for their incredible contributions, and continued support, throughout FY21.
“This last financial year has certainly had its share of challenges, particularly due to Covid-19, however, I am encouraged by the channel community we are cultivating and the overwhelming support through what has undoubtedly been an arduous year. We want to grow 8x8 together with you, and we are extremely excited about what the next 12 months looks like.
The vendor's local channel boss Michelle Marlan said the company’s channel partner community had been instrumental in driving momentum in ANZ.
