Xelion Unveils Enhanced WhatsApp Business Integration
Xelion has introduced an upgraded version of WhatsApp Business Integration as part of its forthcoming Xelion 8.4 update. This advancement enables seamless integration of WhatsApp Business messaging within the Xelion platform, offering more convenient deployment and lower costs compared to competitors. WhatsApp integration has long been sought after in communication platforms, but commercial challenges have hindered its widespread adoption. Typically, business users are required to register themselves independently, leading to inconvenience and escalating costs. Xelion’s latest version addresses these issues by offering licensing per business, rather than per user, thus allowing multiple agents within a business to utilise the service without
incurring additional expenses. Deployment and registration are managed as a service for the user, streamlining the process. Dave Reynolds, Xelion’s UK Managing Director, expressed enthusiasm about the latest integration, emphasising its scalability within the UC ecosystem and its convenience for users. He highlighted Xelion’s commitment to keeping costs down while enhancing the product, ultimately helping partners better serve their customers’ needs. Reynolds stated, “Instead of productizing this service, we’re keeping costs down. The point is that it further enhances Xelion as a product, and ultimately helps more partners meet the needs of more customers. That’s what Xelion is all about, and we’re delighted to be launching yet another enhancement to our partners and users.”
