8x8 Migration in Glasgow
Moving a multi-site Glasgow organisation onto 8x8, one country at a time rather than all at once. Each market has its own incumbent provider, its own porting process and its own working hours, and a single global cutover means somebody is performing a critical switch at three in the morning in at least one of them.
Why this comes up
The problem
A single cutover weekend was planned for six countries, and two of the local ports slipped by a fortnight.
What you get
What we deliver
- A sequence agreed by country, with the simplest market moved first
- Local porting handled with each incumbent, since timescales are not comparable
- Cutovers scheduled in local working hours with local support available
- Interim dial plans so migrated and unmigrated sites can still reach each other
- Lessons from each country applied to the next rather than discovered repeatedly
- Legacy services cancelled per country once its port has genuinely completed

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.
Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites.

8x8 Migration in Glasgow — common questions
- Why not move everywhere at once?
- Because the risk multiplies and the support does not. Each market brings a different carrier, a different process and a different set of things that can go wrong, and a simultaneous cutover means every one of those problems arrives in the same weekend with the same team addressing them.
- Which country should go first?
- The one where a problem is most survivable — usually a smaller site with straightforward numbering and cooperative incumbent. It establishes the process, exposes the assumptions that were wrong, and does so somewhere the consequences are manageable.
- How do half-migrated organisations keep working?
- Through an interim dial plan. Internal calling between sites on different platforms needs deliberate routing during the transition, and organisations that overlook it find that head office can no longer dial an extension in a branch that moved last week.
- When should the old services be cancelled?
- After each port completes, per country, and not before. Cancelling in advance to save a month's charges risks losing numbers entirely, which is unrecoverable — so the sequence is always port, verify, then cancel, however tempting the saving looks.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
