Beyond trunking:
The next wave of
SIP transformation
The benefits of SIP can be
extended and amplified
by using it to integrate
facilities, consolidate
hardware, and ultimately
turn disparate
communications endpoints
into collaborative
SIP sessions.

	“SIP Trunking and SBC Strategies: North American Enterprise Survey,” Infonetics Research, March
2013, http://www.infonetics.com/pr/2013/SIP-Trunking-and-SBC-Enterprise-Survey-Highlights.asp.
The cost benefits of replacing legacy time division
multiplex (TDM) trunk circuits with Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) trunking are substantial and well
documented. By connecting all enterprise voice,
video and data traffic to a service provider’s Internet
Protocol (IP) connection, SIP trunking can save
businesses between 20 to 50 percent over the
more expensive dedicated TDM trunks.1
The savings provided by SIP trunking are just the beginning of the story,
however. The benefits of SIP can be extended and amplified by using it to
integrate facilities, consolidate hardware, and ultimately turn disparate
communications endpoints into collaborative SIP sessions. In fact, SIP trunking
is much more than a low-cost alternative to TDM trunks; it helps increase
business agility and significantly improve employee productivity. As such,
it can help organizations ride the next wave of SIP transformation: improving
collaboration and enhancing customer experience through full integration of
voice, video and data communications.
SIP trunking: significant, diverse benefits
As major carriers have increased SIP trunking availability globally, it has
become a strategic technology that companies are using to simplify their
network architectures and reduce costs. Recent studies and Avaya experience
serving global enterprise clients suggest that approximately 30 percent
of global organizations have deployed SIP trunking. Market data indicates
that by 2015 the number of companies using SIP trunking will surpass those
using T-1 trunks.2

Integrating facilities
with SIP can generate
quick savings to
help fund the other
elements of the
transformation.
SIP trunking reduces costs in several ways, including consolidation and simplifica-
tion of voice architecture, reduced toll and long-distance usage costs, increased
trunk utilization resulting in reduced trunk quantities, and flexible capacity during
times of high call traffic. Furthermore, by aggregating trunks at a centralized
location, companies can create economies of scale and significantly increase
utilization efficiency. A SIP trunk is highly efficient compared to a TDM trunk,
because unallocated bandwidth is dynamically allocated for other uses and
applications. As a result, companies no longer pay for idle bandwidth.
In addition to cost savings, SIP trunking enables integration, consolidation
and improved management of corporate applications, including PBX servers,
voice mail and interactive voice response (IVR) systems. SIP trunking eases
administration of system management and contact center reporting, and it
also facilitates business continuity, disaster recovery, call routing flexibility
and workflow load balancing.
Extending and amplifying the benefits
With SIP trunks in place, an organization can move to the next steps in SIP
transformation: integrating facilities, consolidating hardware and turning
communications endpoints into SIP connections. While these initiatives
may proceed sequentially or concurrently, integrating facilities with SIP can
generate quick savings to help fund the other elements of the transformation.
Integrating facilities
Consider the example of a corporate enterprise with 50 locations dispersed
around the country, or the world for that matter. Each of those locations
currently has voice-dedicated TDM circuits for its telephone system and data
circuits to and from its data center and the Internet for corporate applications.
The enterprise incurs the cost of both the voice and data circuits.
SIP-enabled architecture can provide immediate cost savings by reducing
and/or eliminating the need for the TDM circuits. Subscribing to SIP trunking
on the data network provider’s Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network
allows consolidated digital transmission of all voice, video and data services.
All internal telephone calls from one location to another that previously
incurred long-distance charges, anywhere in the world,3
now use the MPLS
network between locations rather than the TDM circuits.
3
	Some countries currently restrict access to VoIP and SIP trunking deployments.
avaya.com | 2WHITE PAPER
Consolidating and
reducing the number
of systems can not
only reduce costs but
also improve overall
service quality.
Maintenance and
support can be more
consistent, as different
vendors, a broader
range of technical
skills, and multiple
maintenance contracts
are no longer needed
to support the
different systems.
Cost savings will vary, of course, depending on the number and nature of
countries where an enterprise operates. However, overall savings from
eliminating TDM circuits between locations, as well as reducing long-distance
charges, can be conservatively estimated at 20 to 50 percent.4
This also takes
into consideration reduced trunk requirements due to virtual workers and
mobilization of the workforce.
Consolidating hardware
As a result of centralized SIP trunking, companies can take the opportunity to
consolidate hardware. SIP trunking enables the data center to begin handling
outbound and inbound calls, which can be routed to the 50 locations in our
previous example through the MPLS data network.
Along with SIP trunking, SIP-enabled communications platforms are deployed,
typically one each in two redundant data centers, allowing substantial hardware
consolidation. An extensive inventory of equipment across the 50 locations can
be eliminated, including standalone phone systems, voice mail systems, contact
center adjunct systems, and IVR systems at each location, in addition to
associated TDM circuits.
In many organizations, the legacy voice systems employ outdated technology,
cannot be expanded, and carry high maintenance and support costs. If the
enterprise has grown through acquisitions, a variety of system types may be in
place. Consolidating and reducing the number of systems can not only reduce
costs but also improve overall service quality. Maintenance and support can be
more consistent, as different vendors, a broader range of technical skills, and
multiple maintenance contracts are no longer needed to support the different
systems (if support is available at all), particularly for older systems.
To the extent that existing, perhaps incompatible, phone systems are retained
as part of a phased migration, the session management capabilities of the SIP
communications platform can tie the systems together to maintain a seamless
experience across voice, video and data communications. All calls come into
the central SIP communications platform and, based on their direct inward
dialing (DID) characteristics, are routed to the right office, regardless of which
communications platform is in use.

Turning communications endpoints into SIP connections
“Communications endpoint” is a decidedly impersonal way to refer to any
person, but it is a useful moniker when contemplating the potential of SIP
transformation. After all, the purpose of communications is to connect people,
so a user (or endpoint device) is a vital component of the equation.
SIP provides users, for the first time ever, with the ability to engage in a truly
transparent multimedia experience across voice, video and data communica-
tions channels. SIP also enables “presence,” giving users the ability to know
whether people are available to engage and across what channels. Concurrently,
users now have an unprecedented array of communications devices, including
desk phones, smartphones, computers and tablets, to leverage equally in their
communications domain.
SIP’s ability to provide a full multimedia experience across device types opens the
door to a new framework for deploying technology based on user segmentation.
For example, a branch office worker may need advanced desktop communications
capabilities, including multimedia messaging and conferencing. A mobile worker
may need full voice, video and data capabilities on a smartphone. A personal
assistant may require a central answering position with quick directory search
capabilities and a visual interface to keep track of an executive’s call status
and location.
Whatever the users’ responsibilities, SIP enables an organization to categorize
workers by their roles, outfit them with the devices they need, and create a
seamless experience for both workers and customers regardless of the device
employed. The configuration is no longer “we have 200 people, so we need
200 16-button on-premise phones.” Depending on the worker’s requirements,
an eight-button phone may suffice. Or, no on-premise multi-line phone at all
may be needed, as the worker’s requirements can be met with just a smartphone
or a tablet.
Capitalizing on SIP’s potential
For organizations whose business strategies include striving for a unified
communications and collaboration framework to support their workforce,
SIP is the most transformative technology to arrive in the business
communications marketplace in many years. SIP is ushering in a new era of
seamless communications across all forms of media and all types of devices.
avaya.com | 4WHITE PAPER
SIP trunking is the first step to expand the benefits of unified communications and
collaboration beyond the borders of the enterprise. But until now, the business drivers
for SIP trunking have revolved around cost reduction through:
•	Aggregation of disparate TDM trunks with consolidation into centralized locations.
•	On-net calling through the MPLS data network, thereby reducing long-distance charges.
•	Reduction of support and maintenance costs through hardware consolidation.
The next steps of SIP transformation offer even greater benefits, including:
•	Mobility and presence support — integrated unified communications.
•	Business continuity and disaster recovery — flexible call routing via SIP trunks and
alternate carriers.
•	Flexible bandwidth capacity for peak call volumes during seasonal or operational
requirements.
•	Virtual numbers — ability to establish local presence without toll-free numbers.
•	Intelligent SIP endpoints — anytime/anywhere intelligent applications access.
So while cost savings are a start, the performance and productivity benefits available
through continued SIP transformation hold great promise for years to come.

Beyond trunking: The next wave of SIP transformation

  • 1. Beyond trunking: The next wave of SIP transformation The benefits of SIP can be extended and amplified by using it to integrate facilities, consolidate hardware, and ultimately turn disparate communications endpoints into collaborative SIP sessions. 1 For further discussion of the savings potential with SIP trunking, please see “Avaya SIP Transformation Services, Proving your business case for SIP-enabled technologies,” http://www.avaya.com/usa/resource/assets/brochures/SVC4851%20SIP%20EIS%20Brochure-F2.pdf. 2 “SIP Trunking and SBC Strategies: North American Enterprise Survey,” Infonetics Research, March 2013, http://www.infonetics.com/pr/2013/SIP-Trunking-and-SBC-Enterprise-Survey-Highlights.asp. The cost benefits of replacing legacy time division multiplex (TDM) trunk circuits with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking are substantial and well documented. By connecting all enterprise voice, video and data traffic to a service provider’s Internet Protocol (IP) connection, SIP trunking can save businesses between 20 to 50 percent over the more expensive dedicated TDM trunks.1 The savings provided by SIP trunking are just the beginning of the story, however. The benefits of SIP can be extended and amplified by using it to integrate facilities, consolidate hardware, and ultimately turn disparate communications endpoints into collaborative SIP sessions. In fact, SIP trunking is much more than a low-cost alternative to TDM trunks; it helps increase business agility and significantly improve employee productivity. As such, it can help organizations ride the next wave of SIP transformation: improving collaboration and enhancing customer experience through full integration of voice, video and data communications. SIP trunking: significant, diverse benefits As major carriers have increased SIP trunking availability globally, it has become a strategic technology that companies are using to simplify their network architectures and reduce costs. Recent studies and Avaya experience serving global enterprise clients suggest that approximately 30 percent of global organizations have deployed SIP trunking. Market data indicates that by 2015 the number of companies using SIP trunking will surpass those using T-1 trunks.2 avaya.com | 1WHITE PAPER
  • 2. Integrating facilities with SIP can generate quick savings to help fund the other elements of the transformation. SIP trunking reduces costs in several ways, including consolidation and simplifica- tion of voice architecture, reduced toll and long-distance usage costs, increased trunk utilization resulting in reduced trunk quantities, and flexible capacity during times of high call traffic. Furthermore, by aggregating trunks at a centralized location, companies can create economies of scale and significantly increase utilization efficiency. A SIP trunk is highly efficient compared to a TDM trunk, because unallocated bandwidth is dynamically allocated for other uses and applications. As a result, companies no longer pay for idle bandwidth. In addition to cost savings, SIP trunking enables integration, consolidation and improved management of corporate applications, including PBX servers, voice mail and interactive voice response (IVR) systems. SIP trunking eases administration of system management and contact center reporting, and it also facilitates business continuity, disaster recovery, call routing flexibility and workflow load balancing. Extending and amplifying the benefits With SIP trunks in place, an organization can move to the next steps in SIP transformation: integrating facilities, consolidating hardware and turning communications endpoints into SIP connections. While these initiatives may proceed sequentially or concurrently, integrating facilities with SIP can generate quick savings to help fund the other elements of the transformation. Integrating facilities Consider the example of a corporate enterprise with 50 locations dispersed around the country, or the world for that matter. Each of those locations currently has voice-dedicated TDM circuits for its telephone system and data circuits to and from its data center and the Internet for corporate applications. The enterprise incurs the cost of both the voice and data circuits. SIP-enabled architecture can provide immediate cost savings by reducing and/or eliminating the need for the TDM circuits. Subscribing to SIP trunking on the data network provider’s Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network allows consolidated digital transmission of all voice, video and data services. All internal telephone calls from one location to another that previously incurred long-distance charges, anywhere in the world,3 now use the MPLS network between locations rather than the TDM circuits. 3 Some countries currently restrict access to VoIP and SIP trunking deployments. avaya.com | 2WHITE PAPER
  • 3. Consolidating and reducing the number of systems can not only reduce costs but also improve overall service quality. Maintenance and support can be more consistent, as different vendors, a broader range of technical skills, and multiple maintenance contracts are no longer needed to support the different systems. Cost savings will vary, of course, depending on the number and nature of countries where an enterprise operates. However, overall savings from eliminating TDM circuits between locations, as well as reducing long-distance charges, can be conservatively estimated at 20 to 50 percent.4 This also takes into consideration reduced trunk requirements due to virtual workers and mobilization of the workforce. Consolidating hardware As a result of centralized SIP trunking, companies can take the opportunity to consolidate hardware. SIP trunking enables the data center to begin handling outbound and inbound calls, which can be routed to the 50 locations in our previous example through the MPLS data network. Along with SIP trunking, SIP-enabled communications platforms are deployed, typically one each in two redundant data centers, allowing substantial hardware consolidation. An extensive inventory of equipment across the 50 locations can be eliminated, including standalone phone systems, voice mail systems, contact center adjunct systems, and IVR systems at each location, in addition to associated TDM circuits. In many organizations, the legacy voice systems employ outdated technology, cannot be expanded, and carry high maintenance and support costs. If the enterprise has grown through acquisitions, a variety of system types may be in place. Consolidating and reducing the number of systems can not only reduce costs but also improve overall service quality. Maintenance and support can be more consistent, as different vendors, a broader range of technical skills, and multiple maintenance contracts are no longer needed to support the different systems (if support is available at all), particularly for older systems. To the extent that existing, perhaps incompatible, phone systems are retained as part of a phased migration, the session management capabilities of the SIP communications platform can tie the systems together to maintain a seamless experience across voice, video and data communications. All calls come into the central SIP communications platform and, based on their direct inward dialing (DID) characteristics, are routed to the right office, regardless of which communications platform is in use. 4 Avaya consulting analysis experience with multiple clients. avaya.com | 3WHITE PAPER
  • 4. Turning communications endpoints into SIP connections “Communications endpoint” is a decidedly impersonal way to refer to any person, but it is a useful moniker when contemplating the potential of SIP transformation. After all, the purpose of communications is to connect people, so a user (or endpoint device) is a vital component of the equation. SIP provides users, for the first time ever, with the ability to engage in a truly transparent multimedia experience across voice, video and data communica- tions channels. SIP also enables “presence,” giving users the ability to know whether people are available to engage and across what channels. Concurrently, users now have an unprecedented array of communications devices, including desk phones, smartphones, computers and tablets, to leverage equally in their communications domain. SIP’s ability to provide a full multimedia experience across device types opens the door to a new framework for deploying technology based on user segmentation. For example, a branch office worker may need advanced desktop communications capabilities, including multimedia messaging and conferencing. A mobile worker may need full voice, video and data capabilities on a smartphone. A personal assistant may require a central answering position with quick directory search capabilities and a visual interface to keep track of an executive’s call status and location. Whatever the users’ responsibilities, SIP enables an organization to categorize workers by their roles, outfit them with the devices they need, and create a seamless experience for both workers and customers regardless of the device employed. The configuration is no longer “we have 200 people, so we need 200 16-button on-premise phones.” Depending on the worker’s requirements, an eight-button phone may suffice. Or, no on-premise multi-line phone at all may be needed, as the worker’s requirements can be met with just a smartphone or a tablet. Capitalizing on SIP’s potential For organizations whose business strategies include striving for a unified communications and collaboration framework to support their workforce, SIP is the most transformative technology to arrive in the business communications marketplace in many years. SIP is ushering in a new era of seamless communications across all forms of media and all types of devices. avaya.com | 4WHITE PAPER
  • 5. SIP trunking is the first step to expand the benefits of unified communications and collaboration beyond the borders of the enterprise. But until now, the business drivers for SIP trunking have revolved around cost reduction through: • Aggregation of disparate TDM trunks with consolidation into centralized locations. • On-net calling through the MPLS data network, thereby reducing long-distance charges. • Reduction of support and maintenance costs through hardware consolidation. The next steps of SIP transformation offer even greater benefits, including: • Mobility and presence support — integrated unified communications. • Business continuity and disaster recovery — flexible call routing via SIP trunks and alternate carriers. • Flexible bandwidth capacity for peak call volumes during seasonal or operational requirements. • Virtual numbers — ability to establish local presence without toll-free numbers. • Intelligent SIP endpoints — anytime/anywhere intelligent applications access. So while cost savings are a start, the performance and productivity benefits available through continued SIP transformation hold great promise for years to come.
