Cloudy comms outfit 8×8 has unveiled a new partner tier called SellWith8.

8×8 has undergone significant changes at the top in the last year. In a few weeks, in June 2023, it will hire a new CEO, CFO, and CRO. The new tier will help tech partners sort out customer business problems.

The 8×8 Tech Partner Ecosystem programme lets customer-focused firms boost customer experiences by adding tech, such as AI skills, into the 8×8 platform with lasting data to improve business smarts, insights, and analytics.

Vendor job kill continues

Never mind any skills gap, Vendors are firing staff who they may never see again to make a short-term cut in costs.

Google handed six per cent of its global workforce pink slips apparently to refocus on its priorities, including AI.

CEO Sundar Pichai said: “We’ve decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We’ve already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws and practices.”

Pichai said the company will be reviewing its current operations in order to make the most of its early investments in AI.
