The IDC MarketScape identified leading providers in the CPaaS
market that vary in scale and scope but have been innovators over
the years and helped to establish this segment. The IDC MarketScape
considered the diversity of portfolios, the size and growth of
revenues, and the ability to provide a platform for developers,
ISVs, and corporations (MNCs). The primary focus of this study is
platforms' ability to facilitate the rapid development of real-time
communications services that are both easy to create and are
scalable. These platforms facilitate programmable, application
programing interface- (API-) based voice and messaging to enable
the creation of personalized and cost-effective agile enterprise
cloud applications.
"Bandwidth is a CPaaS provider that has a unique position in
this segment," said Courtney Munroe,
Group Vice President of Worldwide Telecommunications Research, IDC.
"The company has a national IP network platform that includes a
purpose-built software layer. This enables Bandwidth to deliver a
portfolio of voice, messaging, phone numbers, and 911 capabilities
with unmatched reliability. Bandwidth has established a reputation
as a reliable, scalable platform that successfully serves a diverse
range of cloud-native organizations and hyperscale providers that
require a robust messaging platform."
According to the report, "companies should consider Bandwidth
when they require and value scale and reliability. Bandwidth
supports a diverse and impressive customer base with unique needs
for mission-critical communications, including Google, Skype,
Square, ZipRecruiter, Arlo, and RingCentral—all of whom are
large-scale digital entities, and many of which have leveraged
Bandwidth for several years. Because of their owned network
infrastructure and large portfolio of APIs, Bandwidth's customers
enjoy deep insight into key areas of the business like message
deliverability, control over call quality, and early access to
emerging or limited communications channels like 10DLC via
Bandwidth's Local A2P API, or 911 via its Emergency Calling API.
Bandwidth actively promotes network availability, 24 x 7 x 365
operations, and white-glove customer support. It provides a
dedicated, seasoned support team for the life of the account that
