Amazon Connect vs. 8x8 Contact Center

Amazon Connect is an easy to use omnichannel cloud contact center that helps companies provide superior customer service at a lower cost. Over 10 years ago, Amazon’s retail business needed a contact center that would give our customers personal, dynamic, and natural experiences. We couldn’t find one that met our needs, so we built it. We've now made this available for all businesses, and today thousands of companies ranging from 10 to tens of thousands of agents use Amazon Connect to serve millions of customers daily.

8x8 Contact Center is a cloud-based, AI-powered platform designed to unify and streamline customer support across voice, chat, email, video, SMS, RCS, messaging apps, and social media channels. It empowers organizations with intelligent self-service automation, real-time guidance and analytics, and deep CRM integrations to elevate customer experience (CX) and boost operational efficiency. The solution supports seamless omnichannel engagement, enabling agents to deliver consistent, personalized service from a single interface.
