Question 1 - Iris Johnson, MVD Communications
How do you explain SIP to someone who doesn't have a technology background but is a perfect prospect for your solution? What is the best analogy you can use when explaining SIP?
Question 2 - Terry Polenz, NACR
In a recent presentation, there was mention about SIP being delivered over a T1 and that SIP could be delivered over a SIP trunk or a T1...I thought a SIP trunk replaced T1 connections? How would SIP be delivered over a T1 and what savings would that produce for the customer?
Question 3 - Polly Gurley, NACR
SIP is used in almost every application we are now proposing but so few of our customers are Avaya Session Manager ready. Is there any way around Session Manager when the customer isn't R5 (Release 5) as of yet? I feel like I'm missing opportunities. Do I have this wrong?
Question 4 - Lee Mannillo, Cross Telecom
How can we help customers plan for SIP trunking implementation from a network provider? Where to postion the SIP trunking, the importance of a session border controller etc?
Question 5 - Romelio Chirino, Avatel Technologies Inc.
Why is the Fax (T.38) over SIP trunk not working on a lot of providers?
Question 6 - Doug McCommas, Dods and Associates
On Avaya IP Office, is SIP capable of doing all of the features that a PRI can do, such as Mobile Twinning?
Question 7 - Bill Shelley, Technology Solutions Group
I am trying to "upgrade" a customer to an IP Office with a SIP T1 with 6 to 8 trunks along with DID. The ROI goes out the window when they claim their current DSL provides 3MB bandwidth. I don't believe we are really comparing apple-to-apples in this scenario and I'd like your opinion.
Question 8 - Harry Gordon, NACR
Because integrating SIP services from multiple vendors is still relatively new, what value do you feel exists from obtaining servers and Session Border Controllers (SBCs) from one vendor who certifies their inter-operability rather than dealing with multiple vendors?
Question 9 - Lance Lorenz, Black Box Network Services
One of the Major obstacles we face in selling SIP solutions is compatibility with hardware vendors. What is AVAYA doing to certify their hardware with all of the different SIP providers, and where can we find a list of certified SIP providers that are compatible with Avaya hardware solutions?
Question 10 - Richard Wallot, Telesavers, Inc.
Why SIP?
