Powerful Cloud Archival Capabilities Expand Smart Communications’ Market-Leading Conversation Cloud™Platform

As a result, customers will now have the ability to seamlessly store, manage and retrieve digital records and documents, while meeting the stringent requirements for data retention that govern regulated industries worldwide.
“We’re delighted to incorporate Joisto’s deep expertise in cloud archival into Smart Communications,” said Leigh Segall, CEO of Smart Communications. “Our leading Conversation Cloud Platform already enables our customers to manage sophisticated customer conversations at tremendous scale. With the addition of Joisto, we will extend these capabilities to meet an increasing need for regulatory-compliant and readily accessible storage of these conversations in the cloud. Together we will support customers worldwide as they continue their journey to modernize and transform customer conversations.”
Joisto’s cloud-based archive solution is built to seamlessly connect to a wide range of core solutions across corporate ecosystems using a comprehensive set of APIs. This enables customers to store, manage, and retrieve documents, irrespective of their source.

The combination of Smart Communications and Joisto represents an exciting step forward for both companies and our customers.”
The acquisition comes alongside a period of sustained, rapid growth for Smart Communications, as the company has consolidated its leadership position in the cloud CCM (Customer Communications Management) and IXM (Interaction Experience Management) sectors and earned recognition for its strength among today’s leading healthcare, financial services, insurance, and government organizations. In addition, analyst firms including IDC, Aspire, Aragon, Datos, and Celent have once again ranked Smart Communications as a strategic leader and highlighted the company’s vision, cloud strategy, and product innovation.
As Smart Communications extends capabilities across the Conversation Cloud with this acquisition, the company will continue to integrate and partner with leading platform vendors worldwide to make ongoing customer conversations – and archival – seamless for the enterprises we serve.
