Kandy is a cloud communications platform created by GENBAND (now part of Ribbon Communications, Inc.) in September 2014.[1] The Kandy platform includes Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) assets. The platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on WebRTC technology, called Kandy Wrappers. The platform offers white-labeled services to Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Systems Integrators (SIs). As such, Kandy Partners typically sell these to their end customers under their own brands.
History
Kandy was formed when GENBAND announced the launch of its real-time software development communications platform in September 2014.[2] [3] Initially only focused on CPaaS, the scope of the platform was quickly expanded to include GENBAND's Nuvia UCaaS offer, rebranded Kandy Business Solutions (KBS).
In 2017, GENBAND merged with Sonus Networks, Inc. to form Ribbon Communications, Inc. The new entity maintained the Kandy offerings and Kandy sub brand for its cloud portfolio.
