Just like UCaaS, Communications Platform as a Service or CPaaS is a cloud-based delivery model that focuses on improving communication channels. It’s a model that allows companies to add various communication features to their existing business applications. Added capabilities like voice, video, and SMS can be deployed through communication APIs (Application Program Interfaces).
RingCentral, one of the leading Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) providers, also offers a comprehensive CPaaS solution through our Developers platform. Get access to free communications APIS and embedded communications technology that will allow your company to add voice, SMS, meetings, data, and other capabilities to your business applications.

CPaaS is commonly deployed by companies that want better features, but don’t want to part ways with their existing business applications. That’s understandable because business apps are the lifeblood of modern companies, whose operations revolve around sales software, CRMs, and other collaboration platforms. RingCentral offers different communications APIs that can be integrated into your custom business solutions.
For companies who want to stay competitive and keep up with tech advancements that are usually reserved for big businesses, CPaaS is heaven-sent. It is a faster, more affordable alternative to overhauling your business apps to enable communications features. It is perfect for startups and mid-sized businesses who would think twice about developing their own custom applications.
Most businesses run software suites from Google and Microsoft, like Gmail and Office 365. RingCentral actually has existing integrations that add some of the latest communication features to commonly-used business applications.
Communications integrations you can get with RingCentral include:
You can check our App Gallery to discover how these features can be readily integrated into productivity apps you are already using for your business without exerting too much effort in programming or development.
Do you have custom business applications that you use for your organization? Our communications APIs can help you add features to it. But this is more than just a way to add new functions to your applications—this is also a way to streamline your workflows. With capabilities like this, you can improve the transition from one business app to a communication function, making it much simpler and easier.

More than just a CPaaS vendor, however, RingCentral equips businesses with an industry-leading unified communications solution.

Communications Platform as a Service or CPaaS, just like UCaaS, is a cloud-based service delivery model suited for any size and type of business. But unlike UCaaS, which unifies business communications in one platform, CPaaS vendors improve or enrich customer communication channels by adding various communications features like voice and video calling options as well as messaging integrations into existing business applications so you can better communicate with customers.
If you’re still not convinced, check out the following list of advantages to using CPaaS:
These are just some of the benefits you can get from a CPaaS vendor. You have to remember that this technological advancement is driven by the need to make operations—especially ones focused on customer and sales interactions—simpler, easier, and just plain better for businesses. If you want to have a seamless integrated system for your processes so you can focus on what’s important to you, our cloud-based platform as a service is one of the best ways to get it.
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) refers to the seamless delivery of different communication and collaboration applications and tools through one platform. CPaaS, on the other hand, delivers similar communications capabilities to UCaaS but does this separately through communication APIs. In essence, it allows users to integrate voice, text, online meetings, and other comms features individually into their own business solutions.
RingCentral is better known as one of the leaders in UCaaS; however, it’s also one of the top CPaaS providers that help organizations vastly improve business apps like sales software and CRM through the addition of useful features such as notifications, multi-factor authentication, and a click-to-call option. Organizations that combine UCaaS and CPaaS can get the best of both worlds with a world-class business phone system that integrates communications and collaboration tools into their own apps, making the service truly customized for their daily use.
