A Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) is a cloud-based toolkit that lets companies add voice calls, text messages, video and chat features to their apps or websites without building the underlying phone or messaging systems. Think of it as a plug-and-play communications engine developers drop into software. Investors watch CPaaS because it often produces usage-based and recurring revenue, can scale quickly with customer communication needs, and benefits from trends like remote work and digital customer service.
