With the global RCS messaging market size projected to reach USD 7.12 billion by 2029, it’s clear that RCS is on a path of exponential growth. This growth is further underscored by the anticipated surge in RCS users. The RCS messaging user base is already more than 1 Bn, and with Apple to join the RCS ecosystem, the user base is further set to grow to 3Bn+, positioning RCS as a dominant player in business messaging globally and opening new revenue streams for aggregators.

However, aggregators looking to offer RCS services, face significant challenges in this evolving ecosystem. These include the complexities of global carrier connectivity, navigating the diverse regulatory landscapes, and the technical intricacies of integrating various RCS messaging APIs & platforms. Additionally, the monetization of RCS traffic remains a conundrum.

Enter Dotgo, a trailblazer in the RCS business messaging (RBM) arena. Dotgo’s platforms supported more than 1 billion RBM messaging traffic globally in the last quarter, speaking volumes of their scalability and reliability. With Dotgo’s RBM Hub®, aggregators can easily deploy and monetize RBM traffic. Read on to know how.

The Challenges of Navigating RCS for Aggregators

Global Connectivity and Local Compliance

Connecting with carriers globally introduces the challenge of adhering to varied RCS standards and regulations across different countries. Aggregators must navigate these complexities to ensure seamless service delivery, requiring a deep understanding of local compliance requirements. This aspect demands extensive research and partnership with local entities, adding layers of complexity to global expansion efforts.

Administrative Burden of Multiple Agreements

To deliver RBM services across different regions, aggregators are often required to negotiate and maintain multiple agreements with carriers and service providers. This administrative task is not only time-consuming but also fraught with legal nuances, differing terms and conditions, and the need for continuous updates and negotiations, making it a significant operational burden.

Technical Hurdles in Onboarding, Verification, and API Selection

On the technical front, aggregators face challenges in onboarding new clients, verifying their credentials, and integrating with different RCS messaging platforms. The choice between various RCS messaging APIs, such as GSMA’s standard FNW.11 or Google’s RBM API, adds another layer of complexity. Each API has its own set of specifications, requiring aggregators to develop versatile solutions that can adapt to different technical environments while ensuring a smooth and secure user experience.

The Dotgo RBM Hub solves for all aggregator problems

These challenges underscore the need for a comprehensive solution that can streamline the RCS business messaging deployment process for aggregators, making it easier to manage the intricacies of global connectivity, compliance, agreements, and technical integration.
