Enterprise Connect 2012 Orlando
David Rohde, Joe Schmidt & Laura McDonald

LB3 Partner Laura McDonald was a featured panelist during the Enterprise Connect summit on SIP Trunking this coming March in Orlando, Florida.

SIP trunking is the hottest technology trend in enterprise communications, but how do you procure the services and equipment to make it a success for your organization? This Deep Dive session offered detailed presentations on the services and technologies you will need to acquire in order to roll out SIP trunking.

Panelists shared details of carriers’ offerings-pricing, service availability, service level agreements, and much more. Registrants received tips for how to negotiate SIP Trunking agreements with their service providers. They received in-depth information about the equipment that goes into a SIP trunking implementation-IP-PBX, VOIP gateways, Session Border Controllers, etc.

Attendees came away from this session with a clear understanding of the service and CPE elements that make up a SIP trunking implementation and be more prepared to start developing RFIs and RFPs for SIP trunking for their enterprise.
