Vonage, a subsidiary of Ericsson, and C3.ai announced a strategic partnership that will bring the C3 AI Field Services module to market. The module combines C3.ai’s agentic AI platform with Vonage’s Quality on Demand and Verify network APIs, enabling technicians in the field to receive real‑time AI guidance, voice and video support, and instant access to remote experts.
The new product is positioned for mission‑critical operations across manufacturing, utilities, and defense. By embedding Vonage’s network intelligence, the module guarantees reliable connectivity even in mobile environments, while C3.ai’s AI delivers predictive maintenance, task optimization, and autonomous decision support. The partnership will be showcased at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (March 2‑5) and at C3.ai’s Transform event in Florida (March 3‑5).
C3.ai’s financial outlook underscores why the partnership matters. The company’s revenue is projected to decline 23.24% year‑over‑year in its upcoming earnings release, reflecting a broader slowdown in enterprise AI spend. By partnering with Vonage, C3.ai aims to diversify its revenue base and tap into the growing field‑services market, which is expected to reach $30 billion by 2028. The collaboration also provides a new sales channel that could offset the decline in its core AI platform revenue.
Vonage’s role aligns with Ericsson’s strategy to monetize its network APIs. The partnership showcases how telecom infrastructure can be leveraged to deliver high‑value enterprise solutions. By integrating its CAMARA‑standard APIs, Vonage demonstrates that reliable, programmable connectivity can be a competitive differentiator in AI‑driven operations. The move also positions Ericsson to capture a share of the expanding field‑services market, which is projected to grow at a 12% CAGR over the next five years.
The partnership places both companies in a competitive landscape that includes Palantir, ServiceNow, and traditional field‑service vendors. C3.ai’s focus on agentic AI—systems that autonomously perceive, decide, and act—provides a technological edge, while Vonage’s real‑time network intelligence offers a unique value proposition. Together, they can deliver a seamless, end‑to‑end solution that reduces downtime, improves safety, and lowers operational costs for customers. The collaboration is expected to generate a new revenue stream for C3.ai and strengthen Vonage’s position as a provider of enterprise‑grade connectivity.
"This partnership highlights the transformative potential of Quality on Demand and real‑time network intelligence, setting new standards for trust, safety, and innovation in enterprise solutions," said a Vonage executive. The statement underscores the strategic intent to combine robust connectivity with advanced AI to create a differentiated product that addresses critical field‑service challenges.
