Microsoft Dynamics Overview

8x8 Contact Center offers multichannel integration with the CRM of your choice, allowing you to set up quickly and combine the benefits of your CRM with the capabilities of 8x8 Contact Center. The integration supports communication with customers via phone and voicemail channels, allowing you to access data from your CRM through an integrated 8x8 Agent Console. 8x8 Contact Center provides key information about each customer interaction, giving you insight into the full customer experience, and allowing you to access detailed records of communications with each customer.
