HP CSE for CaaS enables CSPs to quickly launch a cloud service business. The platform accommodates a wide variety of on-demand services from CSPs and third parties, and accelerates time-to-market with pre-integrated service families- Messaging, Collaboration and Business Voice for SMEs.

The core of HP CSE for CaaS is the HP Aggregation Platform for Software as a Service (HP AP4SaaS). It enables CSPs to integrate and cohesively present a wide variety of SaaS services via a new marketplace portal.

The platform automates key processes such as provisioning, activation, mediation, charging, revenue settlement and service assurance. With HP AP4SaaS, CSPs can create cost effective cloud services bundles that simplify procurement and usage for SME customers.

The HP AP4SaaS is the foundation for other offerings in the HP Cloud Service Enablement portfolio such as HP CSE for Device Management as a Service and HP CSE for Infrastructure as a Service, which is built on HP CloudSystem Service Provider.

For CSPs, HP CSE for CaaS enables CSPs to transform their traditional business models and build new sources of revenue with on-demand communications services that SMEs can consume from customised bundles that suit their specific business needs. “CSPs can drive revenue from the growing cloud-based services market with these new HP solutions,” Marshal Correia, Director, Enterprise Services, HP India. “HP CaaS, along with HP’s ability to bridge IT and telecom requirements, enables CSPs to get to market quickly with ‘pay as you go,’ on-demand services that SMEs need.”
