Enterprises across industries are adopting Communication Platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) to embed real-time communication within products, workflows, and customer journeys. Cloud APIs and SDKs let organizations deliver voice, messaging, video, email, and verification inside applications without operating telecom infrastructure, enabling consistent omnichannel experiences across mobile, web, and social channels. As adoption scales, platforms are moving beyond foundational APIs to offer prebuilt CRM and contact center integrations, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities (for example, conversational bots, intelligent routing, and speech analytics). Trends such as chat-led engagement (e.g., WhatsApp, RCS, and WeChat), richer messaging, fraud detection capabilities, and generative AI are elevating expectations for global coverage, intelligent automation, and secure, reliable delivery.
