What Is a Cloud Communications Platform? A cloud communications platform is a SaaS application that uses the internet rather than a PSTN. There’s still a PBX or VoIP server involved, but it’s maintained off-site by the cloud provider who also handles all the time and knowledge intensive system maintenance and software updates. Cloud communications provides you with real-time communications and collaboration tools like voice, video, instant messaging, presence, collaboration, conferencing, and more.
