Channel Partner Compensation Plan, Training Program Information Available at Booth 438
ATLANTA, Sep 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cbeyond(R), Inc. (NASDAQ: CBEY), a leading IP-based managed services provider to small businesses, today announced Greg Rothman, director of SIPconnect(R) development, will present three educational sessions on SIPconnect at TMC's Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO West.
Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO West Conference, held September 16-18, 2008, at the LosAngeles Convention Center, is an educational program that teaches enterprises, small businesses and government agencies how to select and deploy IP-based services. Rothmanwill share his knowledge and insights on SIP trunking and SIPconnect, an industry-standard signaling protocol designed to establish end-to-end IP communication.
SIPconnect, an initiative of the SIP Forum ( www.sipforum.org) and a certification mark of the organization, provides detailed instructions and architecture specifications to deliver direct SIP connectivity between businesses with IP PBXs and VoIP service providers. The standard ensures consistent quality-of-service, low cost and full-featured SIP-based VoIP telephony.
"The transformation to IP-based communications is gaining momentum among small businesses," said Rothman. "SIP trunking allows savvy entrepreneurs to realize service benefits previously only available to large enterprises and the positive impact those services have on the bottom line."
Rothman will participate in three "SIP Trunking" panels on September 16, 17 and 18. The three panels include:
-- SIP Trunking - The Service Provider Perspective, September 16, 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.(PDT)
-- SIP Trunking - Case Study: American Idol Gets In Tune with SIP Trunking, September 17, 1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.(PDT)
-- SIP Trunking - SMB Networking Alternatives, September 18, 10:15 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (PDT)
During The Service Provider Perspective panel, Rothman will discuss how to overcome the top three challenges in SIP trunking. The panel discussion American Idol Gets In Tune with SIP Trunking explores how the production company that runs American Idol, FreemantleMedia, benefited from deploying Cbeyond's SIP trunking solution. And, the panel SMB Networking Alternatives addresses the cost-effective IP-based solutions available today that allow small businesses to effectively compete with much larger enterprises on a total budget that will make even the most frugal business owner smile.
