In a fast-paced world, communication plays an important role to get a hold of big opportunities.

Voice communications is one major domain of the telecommunications sector. It has played a supporting role in increasing sales for enterprises by facilitating corporate communications in marketing, collecting feedback, and managing employees. So technically, voice communications is a business solution which improves the performance of the enterprise by a huge margin. Enterprises can raise the bar by incorporating voice communications for internal and external communication.

In telecommunications, voice technology is used to a great extent for many purposes such as marketing and teleconferencing through indispensable telephone use, and most likely will continue to do so. Imagine an uptight scenario without telephones. It is enough that smartphones are taking over. The usage of telephone communication is very limited due to the rise of the mobile phone era. Mobiles and telephones serve different purposes. The growing popularity of mobile phone users has 2 outcomes: Nowadays, CPaas platforms are the main pillar for enterprise communication, overthrowing telecommunication. Secondly, voice and data messaging remains the same but the communication pipeline has changed.

Technically, this means that as far as voice communication is concerned, a cPaas platform is a smart solution for making the customer experience better. This would imply that a third-party platform is the answer in the place of backend infrastructure. Let’s go a little further into this.

While call centres are a go-to as marketing campaigns would entail promotion and feedback collection, there is another alternative. Add real-time communication tools instead of telephones and remove the hassle of call centres.

This is possible with the help of APIs which enable you to do so. But the key word here is CPaas — CPaas (communications platform as a service) blends telecommunication and APIs.

Gupshup offers APIs for developers to integrate their applications with the CPaas platform. Messaging APIs and voice message APIs are available for many purposes, especially enterprise messaging.
