A golden bullet or pandora’s box?
A golden bullet or pandora’s box?
Rapid growth of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has unlocked significant opportunities in the communications platform as a service (CPaaS) space, with those able to harness its potential poised to strategically differentiate. Leveraging GenAI facilitates dynamic solutions that offer context-specific experiences for end users — revolutionizing current offerings. But how should CPaaS players approach such an opportunity, and what are the impacts for the wider ecosystem?
From legacy to leading: Mastering large-scale it transformations
From legacy to leading: Mastering large-scale it transformations
Communication service providers (CSPs) — especially standalone operators — tend to face serious roadblocks in the initial stage of IT transformations. Discussions about IT architecture and vendor options often lead to analysis paralysis, which hinders progress to the point where operators are unable to keep pace with industry evolution. This Viewpoint provides a blueprint for mastering large-scale IT transformations.
SCALING THE MOBILE PRIVATE NETWORKS OPPORTUNITY
SCALING THE MOBILE PRIVATE NETWORKS OPPORTUNITY
The enterprise business segment has long been viewed as the context where mobile network operators (MNOs) realize significant returns in deploying 5G technology. Of particular interest is the deployment of mobile private networks (MPNs), dedicated to a particular enterprise and in effect serving as its local area network (LAN). MPNs unlock the potential of 5G for advanced connectivity, security, and enterprise autonomy.
CPAAS: Beyond the hype
CPAAS: Beyond the hype
As the communications-platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) hype fades, questions arise over where the industry will find future value. Two trends are coming to the fore. First, enterprise customers are starting to request features beyond application-to-person (A2P) and “best effort” legacy solutions to enable future omnichannel and 5G-based use cases like the metaverse. Second, classic CPaaS services are finding a new market for an ever-increasing savvy mid-market. Both trends are allowing operators to stamp their mark on the CPaaS industry.
Mobile network virtualization calls for operating model reconfiguration
VIRTUALIZATION ENTAILS CHANGES IN PROCUREMENT
Closing in: The development of CPaaS towards a cohesive market structure
Communications platform as a service (CPaaS) allows businesses to develop and manage communications features without needing to develop and maintain the infrastructure on the back end of the service. CPaaS makes it easier than ever for companies to create differentiating customer communication experiences while promising to reduce costs and speed up innovation.
