8×8’s New French Data Center: Enhancing Customer Experience and Compliance

8×8, known for transforming the way businesses communicate, has opened a new data center in France. This move is designed to improve service for customers while respecting local data laws. France is seen by 8×8 as a crucial area for growth. “This initiative underscores our enduring commitment to the French market,” said a company spokesperson. The focus is on empowering enterprises to use innovative, AI-driven communication tools that meet all French and EU standards, like GDPR and local hosting mandates.

Local Presence and New Leadership

The opening of the French data center is part of a bigger strategy. Christian Laloy has joined 8×8 as the new country lead, focusing on deeper collaboration. His approach is quite straightforward. “While many providers opt for remote operations, we choose to invest directly in France,” Laloy emphasized. He believes many fail to establish a local presence, showing a disregard for the local business community and culture. This strategic decision is about more than just compliance; it’s about building trust and ensuring security.

Strengthening Community Ties and Security

The data center doesn’t just enhance local service; it’s a commitment to the industries where regulations and security are paramount. Regis Davesne from SCC France highlights that this development builds customer trust by offering in-country data storage, fast connectivity, and reliability. This positions 8×8 as a leader in offering secure, compliant technology to French businesses.
