It’s becoming increasingly important for service providers to have a bring-your-own-carrier offering (BYOC) in their arsenal as more and more businesses adopt UCaaS.
However, while these solutions make it relatively easy for organisations to bring their preferred carrier to their UC platform, the work required of service providers behind the scenes to set up their solution can be taxing.
Initiatives like Cloud Connect for Webex Calling are streamlining BYOC for both enterprises and service providers. Still, even these require a great deal of work from the carrier to get things off the ground.
This is where Carrier Automate excels, developed in partnership between Dstny and Ribbon Communications, it delivers certified infrastructure, and is an enablement provider on the Webex Calling Enablement Program. The programme is designed to pair carriers with a partner that can help them through the complex accreditation process, which involves connecting their service to Cisco’s network.
Speaking to UC Today, Neil Greenwood, Chief Product Officer at Dstny Automate, said Dstny can slash the approval process from six to 12 months to a matter of weeks.
Carrier Automate can do this because it has put its technology through the accreditation process on behalf of the carrier and acts as the front end into the Webex platform for them. This includes the automation and integrations that can typically make the process hard for carriers to do themselves.
“We shield the operator from the complexities of Webex, ” Greenwood said.
“It’s a difficult process for the carriers; it takes a long time, and there are stringent integration and automation requirements.
