next generation of messaging facilities to brand marketers utilizing Rich
Communication Services (RCS) standard fixed straight into customers' native
messaging apps.

Barcelona next week. The program will permit brands to contact clients in novel
and active "mobile app-like" ways straight inside Android
smartphones' native messaging facility, presenting attributes with recommended responses
and activities, active rich media, as well as company branding.
With 27 carriers and gadget creators dedicated to opening RCS
to Android customers with Google, the Early Access Program is the earliest advancement
in the direction of making RCS messaging generally obtainable globally. CLX as
well as Waterfall are determined to give businesses admittance to the flourishing
worldwide RCS customer base, allowing attribute-enhanced communication with customers
that utilize Android as well as additional handsets that sustain RCS nowadays
and in the coming times.
By means of the EAP, CLX and Waterfall will allow businesses
to develop with the expertise, impact the roadmap, and be the foremost to advance
clients an advanced messaging understanding. Venders can utilize RCS Business
Messaging to involve with clients, expand subscribers, and propel dealings
without exiting the native messaging app.
The growing admiration of OTT messaging apps endorses the requirement
for a messaging choice more influential and smooth than presently obtainable
natively. The new messaging service functions as a substitute to apps by bestowing
brands comparable traits straight in the messaging environment devoid of the necessity
to form an app audience.
As the foremost software cloud empowering RCS for businesses
and product venders, Waterfall will generate a single point of communication
for venders to disseminate messages to their whole mobile subscriber base. The
solution made conceivable by Waterfall and CLX automatically recognizes clients
with RCS-enabled handsets and enhances the content to distribute the finest
messages to its corresponding audiences.
Non-RCS empowered or offline handsets will routinely default
to SMS and MMS standards, so message transfer is assured to a product's complete
audience. As RCS dispersion proportions expand, more subscribers will open the improved
experiences formed in the self-service Waterfall platform.
Managing Director at CLX Communications, Robert Gerstmann,
revealed, "RCS Business Messaging has many of the features and benefits
that were promised by MMS but were never delivered due to technical complexity,
cost and market fragmentation. Google’s Early Access Program will give CLX the
ability to provide our partners, their customers, enterprises and brands the
tools to provide richer, more meaningful and immersive communications,
strengthening that proposition dramatically."
"We are delighted to work with Google and our partners
at CLX Communications to be the first ASP to bring truly dynamic RCS Business
Messaging capabilities to the largest consumer brands in the world," stated
Matt Silk, Head of Strategy at Waterfall, adding, "RCS simplifies the way
consumers perform everyday essential tasks such as scheduling an appointment,
refilling a prescription or finding directions instantly, without having to
leave the messaging environment. It's a new paradigm that will boost a brand's
ability to increase engagement and heighten conversions."
