Best Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms

AC
Researched and written by Adam Crivello

Communication platforms as a service (cPaaS), sometimes referred to as cloud communication platforms, provide tools for mobile developers to connect their mobile apps to a phone’s SMS, voice, and verification features via APIs. Developers use these products to add communication capabilities such as text notifications, user-to-user chatting, and voice connectivity to their applications. Many cPaaS platforms help developers customize how their products interact with these features via documentation around extensibility.

cPaaS allows developers to implement functionality beyond basic communications, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) via texts and emails. These tools are often associated with VoIP, or voice over internet protocol software, which uses an IP network to transmit phone calls seamlessly without the need to connect to an extra telephone network.

To qualify for inclusion in the Communication Platforms as a Service (cPaaS) category, a product must:

Host APIs allowing developers to integrate communication functionalities in their apps
Provide documentation around API interactions and extensibility

Learn More About Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms

What are Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms?

Communication platform as a service (cPaaS) platforms give businesses and developers the framework they need to add voice, calling, and messaging features to their applications via prebuilt application programming interfaces (APIs). Cloud communication refers to online voice and text communications hosted by third party providers. With cPaaS, developers can implement cloud communication functionality for their applications with prebuilt tools rather than developing their own from scratch. This speeds up the development process.

cPaaS allows developers to customize APIs to control how their products interact with voice, video, SMS, MMS and verification features. cPaaS lets users customize and control their interface with ease. They also have the added benefit of better security compared to communication functionalities built from scratch. The combination of cPaaS’ ease of use, customization, and security make them essential products for developers implementing mobile communication features in their company’s software.

Key Benefits of Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms

  • Saves developers’ time and resources
  • Easy to implement in an organization
  • Ability to customize interface
  • Better security thanks to the cloud

Why Use Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms?

Streamlined implementation — cPaaS offers developers entirely prebuilt, customizable tool kits. As a result, teams can accomplish cloud communication goals without spending extra time and resources to develop these features from scratch. cPaaS’ APIs streamline the implementation process for cloud communication features during application development.

Customization — cPaaS ensures developers avoid the pitfalls of building cloud communication features from scratch, while enabling users to control and customize the platform to suit their needs. cPaaS’ customizable APIs give development teams the same flexibility they could find with an in-house solution while saving users effort and resources. This customization is one of cPaaS’ key benefits — the variety of use cases is endless.

Security — Developers building their own cloud communication solutions face many security vulnerabilities, as a result, they often pour extra resources into ensuring their security. Developers can rest easy with the implementation of cPaaS which is already verified as secure.

Who Uses Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms?

One of the great things about cPaaS is its variety of use cases. Application developers for all different realms can use cPaaS to build communication features that suit their company’s needs. Below are some common use cases of cloud communication software.

Contact centers — Companies can unify and manage their contact center communications via custom built solutions through cPaaS. Developers can integrate voice features directly into their company’s existing application so customer service agents have real-time visibility and context for issues. Call flows can also be optimized and streamlined.

In-app customer support — Application development teams benefit from the ability to implement in-app customer support using cPaaS’ SMS integration features. Companies improve the customer experience by giving consumers a direct line to support without leaving the app.

Appointment confirmation — In the health care sector, developers use cPaaS to schedule automated SMS appointment reminders to reduce missed appointments and optimize scheduling. Companies can even use two-way SMS so customers can confirm or deny appointments with ease.

Communication Platform as a Service (cPaaS) Platforms Features

Voice and SMS integration— cPaaS enables developers to integrate voice and SMS capabilities within their Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) enabled applications. Many cPaaS offer voice and SMS integration that is “platform-agnostic" — meaning the functionality is usable regardless of the development platform.

Programmable APIs — Developers benefit from cPaaS’ prebuilt and customizable APIs. These predefined functions and features streamline cloud communication implementation, while giving developers the flexibility to curate communication features that best suit their applications.

Implementation guides — Many cPaaS offer guides and tutorials so users can understand the full scope of the software. These guides streamline cloud communication implementations and provide a solid starting point for developers who haven’t worked with cloud communication functionality.

Support — Developers using cPaaS can run into trouble, even with detailed guides. Luckily, most cPaaS offer full support via various contact channels so developers can have questions answered and issues resolved quickly.

Multi-factor authentication — Developers can use cPaaS’ APIs to implement two-factor and multi-factor authentication for any communications performed by their applications.This functionality secures company and user data.
