Ribbon Extends Kandy Cloud Platform to VARs, SIs, MSPs

PRESS RELEASE — CHANNEL PARTNERS CONFERENCE & EXPO — April 9, 2019 — Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN) (Booth 1761), a global software leader in secure and intelligent cloud communications, today announced that its Kandy Cloud Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) is delivering the same advanced real-time communications applications to System Integrators (SIs), Value Added Resellers (VARs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that are being deployed by leading Communications Service Providers (CSPs). Kandy allows Channel Partners to capitalize on the rapidly growing CPaaS market, which IDC expects to hit $11 billion by 2022, and embedded communications market with next-generation API-based capabilities. The Kandy platform enables the integration of voice, video, messaging, chat, presence and collaboration into any app, service, web site or business process via APIs, Software Development Kits (SDKs) and pre-developed, turnkey applications.

“Forward-thinking service providers like KPN, The Netherlands’ leading telecom company, are already using Kandy’s RTC apps for their new API Store, and now our Channel Partners can leverage these same capabilities to extend and enhance their offerings,” said Ribbon spokesperson. “With Kandy, Ribbon’s partners can take advantage of low or no-code applications, which offer some of the industry’s most advanced CPaaS technology.   They can flexibly extend and differentiate their offerings with customizable solutions that solve communications problems faced by enterprises, contact centers and other market segments.”

Kandy is a white label CPaaS solution that can be flexibly deployed in public, private or hybrid cloud environments versus a capex-intensive, time-consuming build-your-own model. In addition to offering revenue-ready, easily deployable and fully functional pre-developed apps such as Live Support and Visual Attendant, Kandy comes with an ecosystem of proven marketplace partners that help CSPs deliver continued innovation.
