Programmable Communications and CPaaS are Different

CPaaS Should Not be Used Interchangeable with Programmable Communications I’ve pointed out CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) is a dumb term since its creation. Analysts are paid by vendors, products are defined so analysts can write reports about them to help vendors sell those products. I’ve begrudgingly used CPaaS, as when I use the […]
