Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS Concierge Integrates with ConnectionsGT CPaaS to Enable Unified Worldwide Communication During Consumers’ Customer Experience via WhatsApp Business Platform
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., ARDA Spring Conference 2022, May 2, 2022 – Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół», “the world’s most connected company”®, today said it is collaborating with ConnectionsGT to integrate the Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» CPaaS Concierge Software as a Service (SaaS) offering into ConnectionsGT’s Communications Platform as a solution for use by retail, healthcare, and hospitality companies.
ConnectionsGT decided to fully incorporate Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS Concierge due to the WhatsApp Business Platform for enterprises, built explicitly for medium-to-large businesses to send messages at scale, using automation, personalization, and interactive options that streamline processes and improve the overall customer experience. The collaboration between Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» and ConnectionsGT allows consumers and guests to utilize Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s Hyperscale Communications Platform, the first cloud-native, hyperscale digital communications and messaging platform for enterprises.
ConnectionsGT designs, develops, and deploys transformative communication technology solutions, alleviating the current crisis of communications businesses have with their customers, patients, and guests. ConnectionsGT ComTech (“Communication Technologies”) focuses on utilizing Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s entire CPaaS communication platform allowing connectors to fully integrate all mobile messaging channels such as text, WhatsApp, and chat, alongside any business’ established voice channel.
The WhatsApp Business Platform offers rich and engaging real-time communication when paired with Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS Concierge platform. The inclusion of WhatsApp solved a key challenge for hospitality clients with properties outside North America and for international travelers to North American resorts and properties.
Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS Concierge, a cloud-based omnichannel communications platform, is comprised of five essential elements used by Forbes Global 2000 enterprises and brands in the travel and hospitality, technology, financial services, communications, retail, logistics, and healthcare markets. The Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» CPaaS Concierge includes vital features such as mobile messaging for short message service (SMS) and multimedia message service (MMS), social channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Line and WeChat, and rich messaging channels like rich communication service (RCS).
The Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» CPaaS Concierge also includes a toolbox of identity and security-related tools to address growing fraud and security concerns, an orchestration engine that allows channels and other value-added features to be combined with workflows and decision intelligence, a library of programmable connectors and integrations into key enterprise resources planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) and SaaS platforms, and a “white-glove” support model where Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» “co-creates” mobile customer engagement initiatives.
As more retail and hospitality companies pursue their path toward digital transformations, Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS Concierge has become a key accelerator, and Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół» plans to continue investment to serve these large and growing industry verticals.

- Anthony Link, CEO, ConnectionsGT
“By incorporating Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s entire CPaaS as the engine of our ComTech platform, ConnectionsGT will be able to quickly deploy and implement solutions for our core hospitality and healthcare clients that previously one of them would have required an entire specialized communication team. Some providers promise a plug & play product for simple customer communication use cases while the customers are demanding better, more time efficient communication methods. Without Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s CPaaS, a robust end-to-end customer communication journey cannot be attained. Therefore, ConnectionsGT has decided to utilize the entire CPaaS while we focus on providing end-to-end white glove communication ComTech expertise that extends Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»â€™s white-glove service delivering a unified customer communication throughout the entire customer communication journey.”
