Are you looking into SIP trunking?

As part of some research I'm doing, I had an opportunity to speak with Steven Johnson, President of Ingate Systems earlier today. We covered a variety of topics, but one stood out that I thought I should share as a thinking point.

VoIP deployment is on the rise. We read stories about that every day. Last year Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) turned ten years old. But something happened along the way. SIP finally gained a measure of widespread acceptance, to the point that it is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for many communications services on the network. Everybody's doing SIP.

We also hear a lot of mention of SIP trunking recently. There's a reason for that. SIP trunking provides a relatively easily implemented solution to establish communications flows with your business partners and across widespread company locations. One reason it's popular is because it's fairly easily understood. Another reason it's popular is that the ROI justification for SIP trunking is pretty quick and easy. Unlike many unified communications areas that present soft benefits that are challenging to quantify, SIP trunking is pretty easy to cost justify by comparison.

Here are a couple of articles on SIP trunking for yuor review:

If you're struggling with deciding whether to embrace VoIP, and whether you should adopt SIP trunking as a corporate strategy, I'd encourage you to read these articles and give the idea some thought.
