Case Study: AHI Group achieves significant long-distance cost savings and improved business continuity with 8x8

8x8 Cuts Long Distance Costs for Corporate Housing Company

AHI Group is a corporate housing and property management company with offices across the southeastern U.S. The company was burdened by high long-distance phone charges and a legacy phone system that didn’t provide direct numbers for employees, complicating communication between headquarters and satellite offices and risking service interruptions in a region prone to storms.

AHI deployed 8x8 Virtual Office with about 80 extensions, main lines and toll‑free numbers, after upgrading to faster cable Internet. Extension dialing, auto attendant, presence detection, and a mobile app cut long‑distance costs (about $6,000/month in peak season, $2,500/month off-peak), improved productivity and client responsiveness, and enabled seamless call rollover and virtual offices for business continuity and local presence.
