  • 1.  ARM Support for 8x8 Work?

    Posted 07-08-2024 06:58

    With Microsoft and a few others pushing the new chips, I've been thinking about getting a test platform.

    Anyone know if 8x8 is developing an ARM client?

    That's a great question Ryan! Whilst there isn`t any information that 8x8 is currently developing an ARM client, this is definitely something worth exploring. Could you share more details about what you're looking for in an ARM client? It would be interesting to understand your requirements and what you're hoping to achieve with this test platform. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Not looking for the client to be any different than the current x64 client.  I was going to order one of the new Surface Pro with the SnapDragon X CPU as a test platform to ensure 8x8 and all the other apps we use on a regular basis will work on the new CPU.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Ryan, do you need the app? Is the webbased 8x8 Work app a viable option?

    We have found the web based app to be functional, but not as reliable as the client.  Plus we're all setup with the client to push out to endpoints via InTune.  I'm sure we could sort out pushing a web-link or web-app but I'd rather not.

    I imagine they'll come out with one at some point, especially if the ARM processors catch on.  Thanks much!
