SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes and Silicon Valley’s leading cloud communications company, 8x8, Inc., have joined forces in a multi-year sponsorship deal as the official cloud communications and contact center partner for the club.
“8x8 is not only a leading global provider of cloud communications but a long-standing Silicon Valley-based corporation, and we welcome them to the Earthquakes family,” said Earthquakes Vice President of Sponsorship Jessica Smith. “We look forward to using 8x8’s solution for our critical communications functions, ensuring we deliver exceptional experiences for our employees and fans.”
The Earthquakes will use 8x8 X Series in their front and back office operations, including their call center. 8x8 solutions connect individuals and work groups so they can collaborate faster and work smarter, and include HD audio and video conferencing, one-on-one and group chats, business SMS and texting, mobile and desktop apps, CRM integrations and more.
“San Jose is fortunate to be home to world-class soccer and we’re pleased to become a partner of the Earthquakes both on and off the field,” said CEO of 8x8 Vik Verma. “To provide the Earthquakes organization with a cloud communications solution that increases staff productivity and improves collaboration with colleagues, outside vendors and fans is a win-win for everyone.”
As part of 8x8’s sponsorship of the Earthquakes, they will receive multiple signage opportunities on field level and throughout the stadium and will be the sponsor of the Earthquakes’ instant replay feature during games. 8x8 will also sponsor a series of videos that profile player and team activities, with a focus on how 8x8 technology enables the team to seamlessly conduct business, such as the draft, as well as easily connects players with their families on birthdays, holidays and throughout the season.
