" TATA Confidential Executive Summary Introduction While predictions for the peak of A2P SMS have been toted for several years as 2020, it seems more and more likely that SMS will remain the number one channel for messaging well into the future. A2P SMS is clearly big business and while other more innovative solutions maybe making ground, many of them are not as profitable or as e$ective as A2P SMS. ! While RCS is not mature enough in the market to make a detailed comparison yet (we plan to conduct research on that later in the year) it is progressing. The chat bot functionality that it brings and multi media experiences similar to that we see on some Chat app messaging suggests that Enterprises want to experiment with richer messaging experiences. Often in full colour with graphics, upsetting attributes and most of all the increased interactivity with the client are all great factors but are about a di$erent experience to that we see on SMS. While for some the 160 character limitations of SMS are a blessing, to others they might be too little. Enterprises will have to decide the level of interactivity they think the client wants and o$er optionality to suit everyone. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, RCS will not have the coverage for at least another 2 years. Meanwhile, we can satisfied with the familiarity and convenience of that special place on your phone dedicated to receiving important information.! In our Messaging Strategy research1 where A2P SMS was called by several respondents “old tech” we identified all the challenges and opportunities A2P SMS has in 1 ROCCO Messaging Strategy Report 2018 Roaming Consulting !

Twenty-first century digital interactions include large- or small-scale group chat, 1:1 messaging, voice and video calls, all sent using internet protocol (IP). An interactions API is a suite of API products that give your business a simple way to customize fully-featured chat or voice & video calls into your brand’s application, and delegate the management of server traffic generated by this service to a third-party. The interactions API provides the RESTful program interface to allow your product and development teams access to every functionality required to build chat, voice, and video, allowing them to customize a communication experience based on simple HTTP requests and responses. Software Development Kits (SDKs) package the API to help you implement the client application quickly without having to start from scratch. In the end, it enables your end-users to chat and make 1:1 voice & video calls from your application. Interaction API buyer’s guide: chat, voice, video 1 The benefits of an interactions API : chat, voice & video Forward-thinking businesses of all types benefit from an interactions API: marketplaces, on-demand services, digital health, live-streaming apps, social media, online communities, and gaming.

  • IDC White Paper – “Telesign Poised for Market Leadership in Cpaas”
    White Paper TeleSign Poised for Market Leadership in CPaaS Sponsored by: TeleSign Mark Winther Rich Costello April 2017 IDC OPINION Communications platform as a service (CPaaS) is a nascent market today, but IDC has seen a growing number of new and emerging communications service providers (such as Twilio, Genband, Plivo, Nexmo/Vonage, and TeleSign) and even more traditional unified communications (UC) players (such as Cisco, ALE, Avaya, and ShoreTel) entering this market. Thus we think it's a market poised for high growth in segments such as messaging, voice, and video. CPaaS utilizes a cloud-based development platform for embedding real-time communications (e.g., voice, SMS/text messaging, video) with business processes and applications. Whereas traditional communications solutions typically appeal to a broader swath of enterprise users (i.e., a horizontal focus), organizations are finding that CPaaS can better address their more custom requirements in verticals such as healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and customer service. This IDC white paper is intended for TeleSign customers, specifically product owners and developers of leading websites and mobile applications, enterprise decision makers (i.e., line-of-business [LOB] executives, managers), and IT managers who are expecting to enable communications with their end users, prevent fraud and secure end-user accounts, address mobility challenges, and meet new applications requirements in their networks. Its purpose is to help build awareness of the momentum around CPaaS as well as highlight TeleSign's recent business expansion into broader CPaaS use cases beyond security. SITUATION OVERVIEW CPaaS, APIs, SDKs, Cloud Economics A lot of organizations are looking at platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions to migrate workloads to cloud infrastructure.
