As remarkable as it is, the year 2020 had a tremendous positive impact on the Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) technology. Due to the unprecedented number of businesses going digital, CPaaS has become mainstream. According to a forecast by IDC, the market value of CPaaS is expected to be $10.9 billion in the year 2022.
Communication systems are moving away from the traditional. Businesses now are looking for cost-effective and flexible ways to upgrade their tech stack, thus embracing the benefits of this cloud-based technology. More on that later.
Today, the one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for any business as we have different modes of communication to connect with our audiences. Within your organization itself, if you take a look, you would find that different teams have different needs. CPaaS gives you the option to unify these differences through real-time communication tools, analytics, and other essentials by embedding them into your technology.
Being on the cloud, CPaaS services are available worldwide. Such services reduce hassles when you scale up or increase your capacity on-demand, and you can do it from anywhere. Thus, the first prominent thing about this technology is its serverless availability. Plus, customers have direct access to the platform’s runtime, which leads to fewer obstructions and higher reliability. However, when integrated with AI or machine learning, CPaaS takes your communication game to a whole new level. How?

The convenience that comes with our integration can be explained better with one of the most popular and successful use cases from the e-commerce industry. A global giant e-commerce player was facing difficulties while providing onboarding support to their sellers and consolidating their preferences in one place. They tried managing their problem through a non-real-time channel, email but failed to maintain an exorbitant amount of data and its response time. This is where Route Mobile came into the picture and offered a solution using an inbound IVR and a virtual mobile number (VMN) helping them to overcome the consolidation issue.
The brand can now track sellers in real-time along with their preferences. It’s also easy to identify the stage of enrolment where the seller is stuck and needs assistance.
With simple deployments and improved dynamic communications, CPaaS is driving opportunities for business across all industries – banking, e-commerce, travel, media, government, and NGOs to name a few. This mainstream technology aims to provide an omnichannel experience – allowing your users to communicate on any device, browser, or platform.
CPaaS promises to be a game-changer when combined with AI, machine learning, and big data. It empowers a business to predict and extract user data and simultaneously combat ambiguities that could become growth obstructions.

New enterprise culture and CPaaS
The thriving “new enterprise” culture and unicorn startups have made the potential of cloud solutions and its narrative in communication crystal clear. Businesses began to find more value in a cloud communication set-up because it brings innovative and affordable tailor-made solutions to the table. CPaaS implementation majorly involves APIs used by developers within enterprises and start-up ecosystems. CPaaS providers are increasingly utilizing a number of cloud-based APIs as they are delivering immense value. These are offered as pre-packaged plugins or as part of the integration modules for the developers to embed messaging, voice, video, email and other OTT within their applications. In terms of commercials, this platform works on a pay-as-you-go model, where businesses can pay for what they use. It makes the business asset lighter as there is no significant investment required to build an infrastructure or develop software. As a result, more and more businesses are turning to CPaaS.How CPaaS enable business transformation?
