Learn more about how Snapsonic is leveraging Azure Communication Services for its customers.
Microsoft has launched Azure Communication Services with Voice, Video and Messaging to be leveraged programmatically. These types of platforms are affectionately known as a CPaaS, or a Communication Platform as a Service. A CPaaS enables developers to integrate communications features into their applications and services. Some of the more well-known competitors in this sector include Twilio, Nexmo, SignalWire and there are several others.
“We knew as soon as we were asked to participate in the TAP (Technology Adoption Program) program for this new stealth project that Azure Communication Services was going to be something special. We had a specific customer that wanted to add some innovative communications features to their construction offerings, we saw ACS as a perfect fit.”
Snapsonic is in a unique position to understand the intricacies of a CPaaS and the power these platforms can extend to developers. Snapsonic’s founder was the former VP of Product for one such CPaaS, before ending his contract earlier in the year to focus on Snapsonic.
“Communication platforms each have their strengths and weaknesses. In the case of Microsoft and Azure Communication Services, we believe there is a compelling reason to use them for our projects, they are attentive, they listen to what we have to offer and the speed at which they have been moving is quite impressive. This group is behaving more like a start-up, a driven team of proficient engineers and professionals that are hellbent to build the best-in-class CPaaS at a breakneck pace. We are expecting some interesting integrations and new features in the coming months which will make our customers very happy indeed.” – said Erik Lagerway, Snapsonic Founder.
Snapsonic is built on decades of experience in VoIP and Real-time Communications, delivering solutions for UCaaS, CCaaS, Enterprise communications and verticals such as Construction, Finance, Telecom, and Healthcare, just to name a few.
