Pleasant Grove, Utah October 1, 2020 — Alianza, Inc., the leading cloud communications platform for service providers, today announced the acquisition of Message Hopper, a software company delivering a cloud-native SMS solution for businesses.

Business Text Messaging: The B2C and B2B Connector

Text messaging has long been a way to connect individuals and is now maturing as a necessary tool for connecting businesses to their customers. In a noisy world where traditional communication mediums are often ignored, texting is a highly effective medium for engaging customers. According to Gartner, text messages have an average open rate of 98%, and CTIA data shows an average response time of 90 seconds.

Business Text Messaging enables texting on an existing landline, VoIP, or toll-free telephone number, allowing organizations of all sizes to communicate directly with their customers using an intuitive web-based portal.

“This innovative solution for service providers fuels revenue growth and customer loyalty while enhancing their business services portfolio,” stated Justin Cooper, Alianza’s Executive Vice President of Product and Customer Success. “Driving real-time customer interactions, Alianza’s Business Text Messaging enables SMS to evolve from a one-way information push to high value, two-way conversations that boost sales and improve the customer experience.”

What’s Next

Alianza is actively integrating Message Hopper’s platform into its existing portfolio of business communication products. The Business Text Messaging solution makes it easier than ever for service providers to deploy a cutting-edge SMS communication tool to their customers, helping set them apart from their competition.
