Few industries are as competitive as the telecommunications and softphone industries. With the global mobile VoIP market is expected to reach $183.7 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 21.5% from 2020. Additionally, companies can cut communications costs by up to 90% by switching to VoIP services, contributing to growing adoption.

Communication service providers (CSPs) must continue to innovate and improve their services. This push for modernization means providing high-quality services, an extensive list of features for their customers, and reliable data networks through platforms. The 4G/LTE adoption helped normalize VoIP communications, but with the rapid deployment of 5G networks, VoIP will become the industry standard.

Value-added services like Cloud Softphone are one way many CSPs are staying competitive in the telecommunications industry. CSPs are leveraging a white-label platform like Cloud Softphone to create a communications ecosystem that enables them to build the experience their customers want. With Cloud Softphone, they can improve their services and add new features that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Cloud Softphone is an Application Platform as a Service (APaaS) that allows CSPs to create new bundles for their customers and saves them millions that would have been wasted on development costs. Our platform has been helping CSPs like BroadSoft, Cisco, Portaone, and 2600Hz to create the ideal customer experience since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007.

Cloud Softphone: the Cost-Effective Way to Develop Your VoIP, Unified Communications, and SIP Client Platform

Mobile devices dominate the communications industry. Mobile usage accounts for nearly 50% of the global market share, and that number will only increase. Developing your own mobile app is costly. In-house development requires you to hire a team of developers, testers, and creatives to build the apps’ functionality and aesthetics. And getting that app to market will take another 6 to 12 months (if everything goes according to plan). After launching your app, you also have to support it with future updates and bug fixes. All of these costs add up quickly and will directly impact your profit margins.

On average, a mobile app can cost a business around $300,000 to develop, with an enterprise mobile app costing upwards of $500,000. However, that total doesn’t include ongoing support, maintenance, and future updates. Consider that the average yearly salary of a mobile app developer is $98,554.You’ll likely need more than one to maintain and frequently update your app.

CSPs looking to develop their own mobile app for their products and services also need to consider the level of support that they will need to provide. Here is a general list of what a mobile app has to support:

  • 8 mandatory versions of iOS
  • 9 recommended versions of iOS
  • 24,000+ Android devices
  • 1,600+ Android manufacturers
  • 17 versions of Android

Cloud Softphone simplifies this problem by supporting all of the major iOS and Android updates and devices. Our APaaS will save you money on both development and maintenance costs while providing you with the support your platform needs to operate efficiently.

What is the Future of CSPs?

The future of CPS is poised to evolve rapidly as new unified communication technologies become widely adopted — and more in demand. Customers are looking for more than a basic communication package and are seeking out options with video messaging, rich SMS, high voice quality, and significant uptime. It might take more than a strong infrastructure to compete in the new landscape.

new survey of CSPs has demonstrated the new priorities after getting out of emergency mode brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. CSPs’ top five priorities are now:

  • Digitization of customer experience (75%)
  • Digitization of operations and infrastructure (55%)
  • Adoption of cloud-native technologies (51%)
  • Expansion into new lines of business (46%)

Cloud softphone apps achieve each of these goals. Softphones provide an improved customer experience, digitize voice and video operations, are inherently a cloud-native technology, and, depending on the CSP, represent a new line of business. Will your CSP organization embrace a white label voip softphone app as you step into the future?
