The programmable telephone network has always intrigued me. As a developer, having the ability to create custom applications within the service provider network seems to have endless possibilities. I can envision all sorts of applications that make businesses more productive and consumers better informed. I can also envision business opportunities for service providers, offering hosted development platforms that developers can use to create new customer-facing services.
Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) is a means to offer an open API-based development environment to businesses of all sizes, allowing them to build custom business applications to improve their customer experience and better secure their data. Today we plan to explore opportunities for CPaaS, explain how service providers can integrate CPaaS into their existing networks and review a live customer case study of CPaaS in action.
