ALE provides two major benefits through its cloud platform. The first is a Unified Communication as a Service UCaaS platform which goes head-to-head other popular services on the market. Our customers enjoy full ownership and secure access to their data while on our platform. The second key benefit is our Communication Platform as a Service CPaaS.
As part of the same Rainbow platform, we also provide customers with a flexible infrastructure to integrate any application and process they wish into the platform’s communications capabilities. This communication platform as a service significantly improves user experience and adoption.
The Combination of UCaaS and CPaaS platforms offers customers the flexibility of a hybrid deployment. Because of this, ALE features both a public cloud and a private cloud, making it a leader in the market. All this is accomplished with one platform and the same user experience.
With 100 years of innovation, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has established itself as one of the world’s leading innovators in technology. In the Gartner UCaaS Magic Quadrant, we are the only European product, which means we are not subject to the Patriot Act or the Cloud Act.
In Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, we have a focus on five main sectors, and we have designed end-to-end solutions for each of these sectors.
