"In just two short years, customers around the globe have experienced the unique business value that our cloud-based communications platform can deliver versus other solutions on the market," said Paul Pluschkell, founder and CEO of Kandy. "We are uniquely backed by 20 years of patent-protected real time communications technology, which provides us with the unmatched ability to deliver turnkey micro apps and services that allow our customers to easily bolt on to our platform and rapidly grow their businesses. We are extremely well positioned for future growth in the marketplace." "Our research shows that embedded real time communications are becoming increasingly relevant for organizations to engage with their clients and employees," said Raul Castanon-Martinez, Senior Analyst, 451 Research. "Since its launch in the fall of 2014 Kandy has differentiated itself by helping some of the largest companies in the world improve their communications processes through intuitive and contextual cloud-based real time communications capabilities." Kandy offers its growing customer base the ability to easily connect to the richest suite of proven real time communications (RTC) capabilities on the market, delivering advanced APIs (application programming interfaces), SDKs (software development kits) and business applications (Cloud UC and Kandy Wrappers). In addition, Kandy allows its customers to dramatically and cost-effectively extend their reach by quickly going to market with new communications services such as voice, video, collaboration, messaging and apps that can be accessed on fixed and mobile devices. Innovation Over the past year the Kandy team has introduced a number of innovations such as Kandy Wrappers, which are pre-packaged intuitive, fully-developed, ready-to-deploy software apps that can do everything from creating a dynamic online shopping experience to providing secure, two-factor authentication that protects end-customers' privacy. With Kandy Wrappers, Kandy customers can reduce the cost to deliver compelling new services and eliminate the management burden of custom application development. Service providers are capitalizing on Kandy's ability for rapid service creation, circumventing complex back office and IT processes via an easy to deploy white label cloud offering. For example, one tier one service provider is leveraging the Kandy Business Portal via API access to sell Kandy Wrappers as standalone offerings to its enterprise customer base. Several service providers and enterprises are leveraging Kandy's Consumer Mobility Solutions to enable true mobility and desktop synchronization. These market proven OTT solutions allow service providers to maintain the customer billing relationship for real time voice and video services, while also allowing enterprise CIOs the ability to quickly introduce white label HTML-driven applications with instant consistency across mobile and desktop devices. Kandy Consumer Mobility Solutions also deliver service providers and enterprises a managed OTT solution that provides enhanced security and confidentiality protection features that are not provided by public OTT solutions. Service providers and enterprises are leveraging Kandy Business Solutions (formerly Nuvia) to rapidly deliver hosted voice, UC and collaboration capabilities as well as contact center services. Moving to the cloud eliminates the burden of acquiring new hardware and assures ongoing availability of the latest communications and productivity tools. Customer/Partner Successes
