This document discusses the transformation of enterprise communications through cloud-based communications platforms (CPaaS). It notes that consumer demand and preferences have shifted to mobile messaging over SMS, and that enterprises are adopting CPaaS to more easily integrate messaging into their communications. The document outlines a path forward to simplify the ecosystem through technical enablement, building an online system, and linking enterprises and mobile operators. It argues that CPaaS allows enterprises to easily integrate communications and is not just another technology shift, but represents a disruptive force if the ecosystem can facilitate interactions through a shared platform.
