Market Forces Save time and money “IP-based services, like IM, unified messaging and audio conferencing, can be created less expensively than traditional phone services” Insight Research, March 21, 2002 “Top business drivers for deploying collaborative solutions include improving customer service, productivity and efficiency gains” Reuters & Gartner Inc. Survey, April 2002 “US online retailers could enjoy increased sales of up to 20% if they deployed IM as an online customer service tool. These extra sales could be worth up to $20B a year” Basex Research, November 2001

Session Initiation Protocol "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) management across firewalls integrates many forms of communications with data and processes safely across corporate and consumer boundaries. This opens a huge opportunity for integrated instant messaging and VOIP services to be brought to the mainstream and mission-critical environments.” Dana Gardner, Aberdeen Group, March 22, 2002 “With SIP, it also is easy to combine conversational multimedia services with other categories of services, such as directory information, Web browsing, positioning and presence.” Network World, August 12, 2002 “Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) brings a new dimension to VoIP: cohesion with the Internet.” SearchNetworking, April 25, 2002
