Business News:
MHM currently employs more than 3,000 clinical, management and support staff nationwide and
manages its government contracts through a network of 20 regional offices. Before implementing 8x8
cloud communications, MHM had 22 premises-based hardware phone systems. Over time, maintaining
the hardware became arduous and expensive, which resulted in a significant burden on the company’s
IT organization. Additionally, perpetual licenses continued to incur costs, even when phone service was
no longer needed, and offices with long-term contracts ended up with antiquated hardware that needed
to be replaced. Overall, MHM has reduced spending on phone lines, long distance, telecom hardware
and maintenance contracts by 30 percent. Christie Nader, Sr. Director, Information Technology, at MHM
Services, contacted CDW for help in evaluating the leading cloud-based communications systems that
could accommodate MHM’s company-wide, evolving business communications requirements.
“As an aggregator of cloud solutions, CDW is deeply familiar with the market leaders in the UCaaS space
and 8x8 consistently tops the list,” said Adam Carreno, Solution Architect at CDW. “CDW has unique
customer insight and understands what is required to complete a successful deployment—as we work
with clients across multiple industries with varying demands. Through this depth of experience, and the
validation of research firms like Gartner –who has repeatedly named 8x8 as a Magic Quadrant leader –
we advise clients on the best technology solutions for their needs, and teamed with 8x8 to deliver a
robust, highly secure, cloud-based solution to MHM.”

DXI Extends Footprint in Contact Centre Market with Recent Acquisition By Market
Leader 8x8: June 16, 2015
DXI, a leader and innovator in cloud contact centre solutions, is embarking on its next phase of growth
after being acquired by 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT). 8x8 completed the acquisition of DXI on May 29, 2015
bringing 81 DXI employees to the company who will remain based in London. DXI is one of the first
solutions companies to offer pay-as-you-go cloud services in the marketplace, and together with 8x8,
will now deliver innovative solutions to agile contact centres and key lines of business in the mid-market
and enterprise.
DXI’s popular flagship product, EasyContactNow™, is a scalable cloud contact management solution that
is easy to deploy and use, and supports companies with a small number of users or up to thousands as
needed. The solution enables departments of all sizes to provide a dynamic, responsive environment to
ensure the delivery of customer service excellence. In addition to traditional contact centre
deployments, EasyContactNow can also be deployed by any key line of business across an organization,
such as internal service desks, customer support centres, HR, credit control and facilities management.
DXI CEO, Luca Pepere, who now has additional responsibilities as Managing Director of Strategic
Alliances for Europe at 8x8, commented on the acquisition,”8x8 has strong expertise in enterprise cloud
communications and DXI’s offerings are highly complementary to its existing communications portfolio.”
Pepere continued, “We are excited to be part of 8x8 with all the additional resources and experience
they bring as we expand in the U.S. and globally. In addition, we will continue to invest in our technology
and remain at the forefront of the cloud services industry and safeguard our customers’ investments.”
8x8, Inc. (EGHT) Enters Agreement to Acquire Certain Quality Software Assets: June
4, 2015
8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT) announced the company has agreed to purchase certain assets of
privately-held Quality Software Corporation (QSC), an innovative developer of cloud-native quality
management capabilities and analytics, and two affiliated companies—including QSC’s proprietary
software and all associated intellectual property for $3 million in cash and $1.3 million in stock
compensation. The stock portion will be paid out over four years assuming certain conditions are
met. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close this month.
QSC is one of the newest, most innovative players in the call center performance and analytics
marketplace based in Delray Beach, Florida with a development center in Romania. QSC offers a
modern, web-based solution for the cloud, with a powerful set of monitoring capabilities for high-
touch interactions and a personalized customer experience—including call recording, screen
capture, live monitoring, agent evaluations, speech transcription, reporting and detailed analytics.
8x8 plans to unveil a new cloud-quality management product for its Virtual Contact Center solution
by the end of 2015. As part of the transaction with QSC, 8x8 intends to hire QSC’s Chief Executive
Officer, Ryan Morrissey, as well as the company’s development team in Romania. Morrissey will
serve as 8x8’s new Senior Director of Product Strategy, Cloud Quality Management Solutions, and
be based at the company’s headquarters in San Jose, California.
"8x8 is already the driving force behind the business communications market disruption, and with
the QSC integration, we expect to lead the same level of disruption for quality management in the
enterprise," said Vik Verma, Chief Executive Officer of 8x8. “Quality management and analytics are
an integral part of our customer experience strategy and are already demanded by most larger
contact centers today. With the agility of QSC’s cloud solutions, these capabilities can be easily
delivered to many other groups beyond the call center, adding value to key lines-of-business such
as sales, help desks and other essential customer engagement functions throughout the enterprise.”
“We are excited to be part of the 8x8 team as the company makes its push into the enterprise and
continues to grow in the mid-market," said Ryan Morrissey, CEO at Quality Software Corporation.
“Traditionally, the quality management market has been dominated by dated, on-premises
solutions, so QSC’s cloud-based innovations bring a new level of flexibility and ease of adoption.
Together, we look forward to targeting broader market opportunities in the U.S. and
internationally, as well as increasing our engineering capacity in Romania to support major quality
management initiatives—with a keen focus on new workgroup and line-of-business solutions for
the enterprise.”

combined expertise in communication technology, which has helped the company build a solid
business with demonstrated market traction— securing major global and regional customers,
ranging from SMEs to global enterprises.
"The acquisition of DXI enables 8x8 to continue to boost its European expansion efforts and further
position the company as a leader in cloud contact center solutions as we continue to penetrate the
mid-market and enterprise," said Vik Verma, Chief Executive Officer of 8x8. “With DXI’s strong UK
contact center market presence and outstanding technical team, 8x8 can broaden its European
footprint, offer a frictionless, online sales approach for agile contact centers and line-of-business
buyers, and add a stellar team passionate about bringing next-generation contact center
innovations to market.”
"8x8 continues to increase its focus on the contact center market, and DXI’s offerings are highly
complementary to our existing Virtual Contact Center solutions,” Verma continued. “The DXI
integration accelerates our ability to bring strong outbound capabilities and uniquely personalized,
high-touch customer engagement capabilities to key lines of business and workgroups within larger
organizations. Most importantly, we embrace a shared vision that easy-to-use, highly responsive
customer engagement capabilities are critical for all employees throughout the organization.”
"We are pleased to be part of the 8x8 team during such an exciting time for the company, with its
outstanding U.S. reputation, strong momentum in the mid-market and formidable, growing
international presence," said Luca Pepere, DXI CEO. “Over the last couple years, we have seen an
inflection point for cloud communications, and the contact center continues to evolve from a stand-
alone cost center to a critical organization-wide business asset. This market shift will propel the
next phase of our business, and together, we will drive a new level of disruption in business
communications.”
