VOIP as an Adjunct To Your SOA Framework
VOIP as an Adjunct To Your SOA Framework

The concept of adding the phone system to your company’s SOA framework may sound radical. But as IP telephony systems become more commonplace, the phone system is “just another business application,” and it is natural to integrate it with other business systems. As vendors begin to support web services interfaces with WSDL and other tools, IT professionals are realizing they can execute integration projects that would have required telecom experts just a few months ago. There are real business benefits of a web services approach to integrating key IP telephony functionality with other applications. Business users can see the value of “click to chat” buttons into the CRM application, or conference-call-on-demand buttons in workgroup applications. This session will explore the business value of “Communications Web Services” with updates on what is technically feasible now. Attendees will be able to better leverage the value of IP telephony in their organizations.
