Integration of SIP Trunking in 2011

As SIP Trunking technology becomes more widely accepted and utilized in businesses (all sizes) and mobile communications,  the implementation will be boosted this year. Clients want to know what SIP Trunking is and what it will do for their business.

What is SIP Trunking?  (Session Initiation Protocol) connection is a service that connects a company’s PBX to the existing telephone system infrastructure (PSTN) via Internet using the SIP VoIP standard. It’s an efficient type of VoIP that many companies are using to lower their Telecom costs.

What are the BENEFITS for my company? SIP Trunking can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. Not only that, but it saves you money, fairly quickly upon your initial modest investment. Most companies see a return on investment in as little as 3-6 months. Traditional local and long distance charges decrease dramatically because the call travels mostly over the IP network. Bundles of physical wires are replaced with PSTN connectivity via a SIP trunking service provider on the Internet.  Also, if your company has multiple offices, SIP Trunking technology makes better use of your connectivity. Basically, it makes sense from both the economic standpoint and the business aspect as well.

NWMAP is a reputable Master Agency with over 20 years experience. We offer a variety of SIP Trunking technologies at the best cost for our clients. We really know our Telecom vendors enabling our clients to have choices in services and methods to save money.

Unified Communications and Security

We often hear about security issues on our facebook or twitter account, but what about the security and potential risks within your own business. Truth is, it’s not a common topic of discussion unless it’s the foremost concern for a reason (security breach or malfunction) and/or you are designing a new data/information system specific to your business. Either way, a solid plan can only be accomplished if both you and your Telecom Broker are working together to prevent potential risks or keep some from never occurring…again.

If nothing has ever happened, it can give you a false sense of security and just because you have an updated Unified Communications system, doesn’t mean you are protected. There is always some level of risk, but you must decide what is acceptable for your business. Everyone must be on board; Business owner, IT Manager, Telecom decision makers, CIO, and anyone else who might be able to communicate to your Telecom Broker the best Unified Communications plan for your business. Telecom brokers can help you decide who has access to what information, who has limited access, what data is monitored and managed by who.

It is typical for a Telecom Broker to offer you solutions, but you need to offer information about your enterprise’s specific risks and issues. Doing so will put your bsuiness at a lower level of risk. It only takes one time; security issues can wreak havoc on a business. Ask a Telecom Broker at NWMAP about including VoIP and SIP trunking in your network security policies.
