Unified Communications is transforming the 21st century enterprise, fueled by the exponential growth of SIP trunking, which lowers operating costs, delivers rapid ROI and feature-rich-applications. UC implementation rates doubled from 2010-2011 according to CDW’s third annual Unified Communications Tracking Poll.
To address the need for information on the what, why and how of UC and SIP trunking, we are revamping the popular ITEXPO seminar series to offer the new Unified Communications: SIP Trunking, Voice, Video and More at ITEXPO West 2011, September 13-15, 2011.
The seminars are free to all ITEXPO attendees.
This three-day educational seminar series provides in-depth information on the wide breadth of applications falling under the UC umbrella. Sessions will cover:
- Fax-over-IP

Today’s Fax-over-IP session featured Mike Coffee of Commetrex and Max Schroeder of FaxCore. Mike pointed out that the first FAX machine was installed over 100 years ago and that the t.30 standard, which was issued in 1980, is now the most ubiquitous computer protocol. The fax industry does not foresee the demise of faxing any time soon, Mike and Max noted, because many industries will only accept faxes as legal documents since they can be date- and time-stamped.
The new standard, t.38, was first deployed in 1998. Continue Reading...

This morning at the SIP Trunk-UC Summit at ITEXPO Matt Vlasach of Unwired Revolution discussed supporting remote workers in "SIP: Unifying the Distributed Workforce." In this case study he described how the Ingate enables a connection to the Microsoft Lync which transforms the Lync TCP packets to UDP so they can be delivered to the ShoreTel servers and to Paetec SIP Trunking services. It also protected all the Unwired Revolution network assets.
ROI in Two Years: Matt described that the payback for the enhanced service model was less than two years and the return on investment was more than adequate to meet the requirements of the company.
The next steps are to integrate this with CRM and to support mobile VoIP and then to communication enable business processes for the customer.
Matt offered 5 tips for evolving to UC:

The SIP Trunk-Unified Communications Summit is in full swing here in sunny Miami Beach at ITEXPO. We’re blogging live from the SIP Trunk-UC Summit. If you’re attending the show stop by the Summit in room A208 – you don’t want to miss Aastra, ShoreTel, Broadvox, VOIPSA, EarthLink Business, Qwest Business just to name a few of our panelists – all of whom are leading visionaries in SIP, SIP trunking and UC.
This morning our panelists for the Town Hall Meeting engaged in a very lively discussion about what Unified Communications really means. Several made the point that UC is focused on changing the way that enterprises do business, unlike SIP trunking which is replicating the features and methods that have been employed on legacy telephony systems. The panel made the observation that consumer experiences with services such as Facebook and capabilities such as FaceTime are what drive new ways of conducting business. Continue Reading...
Interoperability is becoming a central topic at the SIP Trunk-Unified Communications Summit at ITEXPO. The Unified Communications Interoperability Forum and SIP trunking leader BroadSoft will both be speaking, which tells me that Unified Communications is gaining traction significantly and that interoperability is becoming a key issue we must address.
Cloud-based UC is also being recognized as a unique alternative to on-premise service - both have benefits, and the BroadSoft presentation will help delineate the opportunities for both. Cloud-based SIP trunking offers all the know-how for back-end implementation and ongoing updates, maintenance etc. Continue Reading...
SIP trunks are fueling interest in, and adoption of, Unified Communications. That's why at the ITEXPO in October, in LA, we're debuting the new SIP Trunk-Unified Communications Summit, to showcase the close relationship between these two services. We're developing a program that helps demystify Unified Communications, just like we did for SIP trunking, and provides you with a roadmap - the information you need to know, now -- on the what, why and how of UC.
SIP trunking is still a focus, so look for some innovative programming on that front as well. Continue Reading...
Are you headed to warm Miami Beach next week, for the ITEXPO? Join Ingate and the leading voices in SIP trunking for the "SIP Trunking: Everything You Need to Know" seminars - free for all ITEXPO attendees.
This season we have some exciting new sessions:
Session for Carriers with J. Arnold & Associates. The SIP Forum and Other Leaders
A new session, "Just for Carriers: SIP Trunk Intensive Workshop," will feature an in-depth analysis on SIP trunks to address the unique needs of this audience.
The ROI of SIP Trunking
Case studies detailing real-world deployments will illustrate how SIP trunks deliver a significant return-on-investment. Continue Reading...
Demand for SIP trunks is on the rise - yes, even in this bad economy. Why? Because SIP trunks make good financial sense now, providing economic relief to a company immediately, and later down the road.
Based on our numerous customer deployments, we see SIP trunk installations paying for themselves -meaning, the entire installation of a new IP-PBX, phones, network upgrades and the Ingate solution - in less than a year. One recent installation resulted in a 40% reduction in telephony costs. Empirical evidence from other installations confirms these results.
How can this be so?
SIP trunks reduce costs by:
• Eliminating the need to purchase expensive BRIs (Basic Rate Interfaces) or PRIs (Primary Rate Interfaces) allowing the user to buy just the capacity they need. Continue Reading...
