8×8 Partners with ULAP Networks to Break Down Global Connectivity Barriers
8×8 has announced a strategic partnership with ULAP Networks, a global cloud infrastructure and connectivity company known for sovereign-ready, compliance-driven services. The collaboration is designed to expand access to hard-to-reach markets while delivering seamless, reliable connectivity for organisations operating across borders.
For many enterprises with international footprints, inconsistent network performance has long posed a challenge, often undermining customer engagement and internal collaboration. The partnership between 8×8 and ULAP aims to eliminate that pain point by combining 8×8’s global CX platform with ULAP’s localised expertise, regulatory knowledge, and established public switched telephone network (PSTN) interconnects. Together, they provide organisations with the ability to deliver consistent, mission-critical engagement in regions that have historically been difficult to serve.
“Global operations need more than just platforms – they need dependable connectivity that ensures every call, message, or interaction reaches its destination quickly and securely. By partnering with ULAP, we are ensuring that our customers don’t have to choose between global reach and local reliability,” said Sam Wilson, Chief Executive Officer at 8×8.
Stronger Regulatory Compliance
Since its launch earlier this year, the partnership has already fueled deployments in traditionally underserved markets, demonstrating how a partner-led model can accelerate global reach. Organisations leveraging the joint solution are seeing benefits such as reduced latency, improved uptime, and stronger regulatory compliance, even in complex jurisdictions where infrastructure has historically lagged.
For multinational businesses, the partnership also ensures local compliance without sacrificing global consistency. ULAP’s cloud-agnostic solutions, paired with 8×8’s architecture, enable companies to confidently scale their CX operations, knowing they can rely on high-speed, low-jitter performance no matter the market.
“Our partnership with 8×8 reinforces the shared mission to deliver enterprise-grade, agile, and resilient communications for modern businesses,” said Dominic McDonald, Chief Executive at ULAP. “By combining 8×8’s CX platform with ULAP’s compliance-led connectivity, customers can deploy faster, meet local requirements with confidence, and deliver resilient communications at scale.”
