CPaaS 101

Making conversations with customers work

To deliver a seamless and relevant customer experience that cultivates engagement, companies need to consolidate their communication approach. Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) represents the perfect way to automate and streamline customer interactions while keeping it personal.

What is CPaaS?

Communications Platform as a Service, or CPaaS, is one of the fastest growing communication industries today. CPaaS offers straightforward integration in real-time, cloud-based, personalized communication services like chatbots or two-factor authentication that are directly accessible in existing applications.

Delivering an omnichannel experience with CPaaS

CPaaS is highly versatile. It can be used across business units and functions to support and facilitate very different kinds of customer interactions from batch sending reminders for eye test appointments or insurance policy renewals, through distributing tailor-made promotional offers and offering real-time customer support, to parcel tracking, secure account verification, and invoice payments.

Applying CPaaS

CPaaS is an easy way for developers to improve and integrate real-time communication between users on an application, without needing to create a separate app.

A prime example of CPaaS would be a chatbot popping up to help you surf through a website. So is a messaging system that is sent through company software so team members can communicate such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

Making Connections

Indeed, companies adopting CPaaS always want to know that it can be integrated with their global business applications, such as CRM or marketing automation tools. This ensures any investment is maximized and all communications over multiple channels add value and increase customer engagement.

Fundamentally, CPaaS has been developed to address both the local context and global market companies operate in. It’s this global view, and the universal acceptance of the various communication platforms, that means CPaaS providers will have strong global relationships with system integrators through to mobile operators.

Adobe, Emarsys, Magento, Microsoft Oracle, Salesforce, and Selligent all integrate with CPaaS to provide an integrated experience that can enhance the way businesses interact with their customers.
