We had 8x8 when I began my employment here under the previous owner, then transferred the account to the new owner.

Using 8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office)

4 - They are the owner, operations manager, estimator and office manager. Collectively, we are in charge of production, human resources, billing and finances
If we had someone in-house, they would make sure that the phone cords and sets themselves are working efficiently, but we don't have such a person.
  • receiving and making phone calls to run our operations
  • forwarding calls to our answering service
  • receiving voicemails
  • enabling out-of-office messages
  • N/A. We probably do not use 8x8 to its fullest capacities
