How SIP Trunking Achieves Cost Savings Eliminates dual last mile facilities Mixed voice, video, data on same infrastructure More competitive market Greater geographic reach Improved flexibility Fortune 1000-size organizations can save anywhere from 25-60% on their telecom expenses. Sorell Slaymaker, Unified IT Systems SIP Trunking Infrastructure cost reductions will allow Triton to realize ROI in as little as 3 months Cameron Symonds, Director IT/TS, Triton Technologies SIP Trunking returns an average savings of 25% vs. a traditional separate voice and data infrastructure Global Crossings, 2011 SIP Trunking can deliver savings of 30-50% for branch environments in mid-size and large enterprises Gartner, Inc., 2009
SIP Trunking Looks Good; Upgrading PBX environment Not So Good Continuing pressure to reduce operational costs Postponing/avoiding major capital expenditures Legacy (TDM, IP-PBX) infrastructures still work Effort to upgrade is slow and a distraction Carrying over certain existing functionality may not be supported
Step 1 Assess the Situation Where are the costs and inefficiencies? Internet PSTN Cost of Firewall two facilities Trunking, Local and Long Dist. Router T1/E1 or Analog Trunks PBX LAN Maintenance Costs Lack of PC Users Integration Moves, SIP or adds Digital and Phones changes Costs from Conferencing Services Fax Analog Phones IP TDM
Step 2: Planning Upgrade PBX? Replace PBX? Expansion? Consolidation? Eliminate PSTN When and at what cost? Goal SIP Trunking Trial Eliminate PSTN Trunking Implement IP-PBX Or Unified Communications With SIP Trunking
Step 3: SIP Trunking Trial Internet Firewall Router Gateway Makes Call Routing Decisions LAN PC Users PSTN T1/E1 or Analog Trunks PBX SIP or Digital Phones Drop and Insert Architecture Eliminates PBX expansion/changes Makes IP-PBX/UC Upgrade easier IP TDM Fax Analog Phones

Case Study: Georgia Military College Liberal Arts Junior College Main campus in Milledgeville, GA 6 campuses across Georgia 500 Full-time employees 5000 Students 1800 computers Centrex from National SP
Challenges Costs Like many public institutions, college is very sensitive to operating costs Centrex costs were very unpredictable Moves, adds and changes were $ Need for Collaboration Staff spread across six different campuses Delays/costs incurred while commuting between campuses Retention of Existing Telephone Numbers Local presence is important Reliability Campus Autonomy - no outage should effect other campuses
