This document discusses how SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) can help enterprises simplify business communications while lowering costs. SIP allows endpoints to discover, locate, and establish communication sessions for VoIP, video, gaming, and other applications. The SIP Session Manager acts as a centralized registrar and location server. It authenticates users, stores location information, and helps routing sessions. This simplifies network architecture and promotes interoperability while reducing costs. The document also discusses how SIP can improve customer contact centers through intelligent routing, customized wait experiences, self-service options, and proactive outbound communications - helping lower costs and enhance customer experience.

Software Developer Lowers Phone Costs, Improves Customer Care.
Quintiq adopted Jabber for voice services and introduced follow-the-sun support with Unified Contact Center Express.
SpeechStorm understands their customers needs. Throughout these slides we cover the 5 fears businesses have been facing when introducing a new IVR system.
The key questions are:
1.) What is the customer reaction to IVR?
2.) Will I be able to use it in my organisation?
3.) Is it proven?
4.) Are there cost savings?
5.) How flexible is the system?
Over the past 10 years the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has moved from the toy of researchers and academics to the de-facto standard for telephony and multimedia services in mobile and fixed networks.
Probably one of the most emotionally fraught discussions in the context of SIP was whether Session Border Controllers (SBC) are good or evil.
SIP was designed with the vision of revolutionizing the way communication services are developed, deployed and operated. Following the end-to-end spirit of the Internet SIP was supposed to turn down the walled gardens of PSTN networks and free communication services from the grip of large telecom operators. By moving the intelligence to the end systems, developers were supposed to be able to develop new communication services that will innovate the way we communicate with each other.
This was to be achieved without having to wait for the approval of the various telecommunication standardization groups such as ETSI or the support of incumbent telecoms.
Session border controllers are usually implemented as SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUA) that are placed between a SIP user agent and a SIP proxy. The SBC then acts as the contact point for both the user agents and the proxy. Thereby the SBC actually breaks the end-to-end behavior of SIP, which has led various people to deem the SBC as an evil incarnation of the old telecom way of thinking. Regardless of this opposition, SBCs have become a central part of any SIP deployment.
In this paper we will first give a brief overview of how SIP works and continue with a description of what SBCs do and the different use cases for deploying SBCs.

Management der Kernbank IT
Die Komplexität der IT-Landschaften in Banken ist bereits heute im Vergleich zu anderen Branchen extrem hoch und steigt stetig weiter an – Prozess- und IT-Architekturen müssen immer leistungsfähiger und flexibler werden. Die Gründe hierfür liegen u. a. in den steigenden Geschäftsanforderungen und den gesetzlichen Auflagen.
Fest steht, dass Banken ihre IT konsolidieren müssen. Durch die Standardisierung der IT Infrastruktur und der Anwendungen können Banken allein in der IT rund 30 bis 35 Prozent der Kosten sparen, die Qualität steigern und den Kundenservice verbessern.

4. Session Initiation Protocol SIP can be called a “rendezvous” protocol. That is, it allows endpoints on the Internet to discover, locate, negotiate, and establish sessions. What kind of sessions? Any kind of sessions. SIP is used to establish VoIP (of course), video, gaming, text, call control. SIP is an open protocol standard, with an active working group on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Avaya and other major companies are active in the IETF SIP working group and in other industry groups, working to ensure that SIP-enabled solutions work across businesses and enterprises with a variety of legacy, new, and evolving networking and telecommunications infrastructures and products to enhance and revolutionize the world of real-time business communications. SIP is used to identify, locate, and enjoin parties who want to communicate using any peer-to-peer media type. However, SIP does not transport the media itself: That is handled by codecs within the communications programs or devices.

23. Registrar Server. When users come online, they need to make sure that others are aware they’re available to take and make calls. The Registrar authenticates and registers users when they come online, and stores information on the users’ logical identities and the communications devices or physical entities (IP address) of the communication devices they can use. The devices are identified by their URIs. Location Service. As users roam, the network needs to be continually aware of their locations. The location service is a database that keeps track of users and their locations. The location service gets its input from the registrar server and provides key information to the proxy and redirect servers. A SIP proxy or redirect server uses this information to obtain the mapping from logical SIP addresses to physical SIP addresses, so that communication sessions can be properly established and maintained.

The truth is, even in the era of convergence the typical enterprise infrastructure is inherently complex consisting of different communication systems from different vendors, different devices and different locations. End user functionality is limited by all of those elements.Kevin Kennedy’s notes:The fact of the matter is that decades of innovation has resulted in a complex entanglement of networked applications. Operationally the coexistence of circuit oriented dial plans and data oriented domain addresses has created enterprise complexity. The voice world of the 1980’s maintained a full vertical stack of proprietary hardware, operating systems, applications and devices. The networks defined the relationship of the user and the applications. In the 1990’s the access media was disaggregated from the connection and application. This allowed us to put people and devices anywhere, but as an industry we still followed a legacy architecture with connections intertwined with monolithic applications.
