SIP Trunking Services provide many benefits for Enterprises over current, legacy ISDN trunk lines, including significant cost savings, access to new services, and integration with existing IP based services and business applications. In order to realize these benefits, SIP Trunks need to provide quality, reliability and scalability of voice services that is at least as good--if not better than--their ISDN-PRI predecessors. However, many significant challenges can prevent organizations from realizing the true benefits of SIP Trunks, including vendor and network interoperability, proper provisioning, voice quality, and security that need to be addressed prior to deployment. This webinar will explore the current state of the SIP Trunking market and deployments, the challenges affecting widespread adoption and test methods for mitigating these obstacles.

The term "mobility" is often taken primarily to mean integrating cell phones into the fabric of the enterprise's IP-PBX--i.e., fixed-mobile convergence (FMC). This capability was considered valuable for nomadic employees. But with high energy prices and a slowing economy, the ideas behind mobility may actually be leveraged to reduce costs and increase productivity by taming the nomad: working from home some days instead of the office, or working from the office instead of being mobile in the field without losing effectiveness. You'll leave thhis hour-long session with an understanding of how communications technology can support new modes of work that maximize corporate investments and employee time. Sponsored by Aastra.
