MEF’s Future of Messaging Guide 2020

MEF’s Future of Messaging Guide 2020 published in association with Syniverse explores the growth of business messaging via a series of interviews and case studies to showcase how messaging continues to evolve and enable better customer engagement.

Texts enable a wide variety of activities from authentication to delivery confirmation, special promotions and more.

What’s In The Guide?

The Guide includes an exclusive interview with Jeff Bak, VP of Cloud Messaging Product Management at Syniverse who explores how should companies be preparing for the next stage of business messaging?

The first stage of CPaaS was very developer-centric. It targeted tech companies that were looking to disrupt traditional markets. But now more traditional bricks and mortar enterprises are looking at cloud-based comms. They are not coders at heart, and many are struggling with their digital transformation. It's not enough just to give them the APIs. We have to help them piece together the functionality made possible by the APIs, so they can have conversations with customers on their preferred channels. And when we get payment inside RCS, we'll see a new era of message-based mobile commerce mediated by bots. Customers will fire up their brand’s virtual agent and then answer a few questions to get to the item they want.
