8x8 Virtual Office for Desk.com gives you control of your 8x8 phone from within Desk.com, allowing you to combine the benefits of Desk.com with the capabilities of Virtual Office.
The application launches conveniently within Desk.com, enabling you to click-to-dial, quickly identify customers based on an inbound call (via records that pop up on an incoming or outgoing call), and improve the efficiency of logging calls. With these records, you can gain full insight into communications with any returning customer, and be prepared to follow up with them whenever they may call.
