“Working together with SoftBank, one of our key investors, we are able to move fixed-line enterprise telephone systems and call centers to the cloud in Japan, a difficult feat which has faced many barriers until now”
As companies adjust to flexible work environments, Dialpad’s truly unified communications as a service (TrueCaaS™) experience meets the evolving needs of global businesses and distributed workforces with its single business communications and contact center solution.
“Working together with SoftBank, one of our key investors, we are able to move fixed-line enterprise telephone systems and call centers to the cloud in Japan, a difficult feat which has faced many barriers until now,” said General Manager of Japan at Dialpad, Tenshi Adachi. “It is through this strategic partnership that we are able to achieve this high level of success and extend Dialpad’s TrueCaaS solution to Japan with them.”
The partnership with SoftBank began when Dialpad launched in Japan in 2016. Due to regulatory reasons, the initial offering was limited to national VoIP prefix 050 + OPG (on-premises gateway & 0AB-J landline). In September 2021, Dialpad launched pure cloud 0AB-J newly issued numbers and is now, together with SoftBank, able to port 0AB-J numbers to Dialpad. 0AB-J numbers also support toll-free calls routed to Dialpad’s contact center as a Service (CCaaS) offering. SoftBank will also help Dialpad extend its reach to a wider APAC audience.
