I published an article today at VoIP Planet looking at BroadSoft and Acme Packet's recent announcement of a series of enhancements to their joint SIP trunking solution for large enterprise customers, which integrates BroadSoft's BroadWorks VoIP application platform with Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controller to deliver advanced IP communications services.

"The lack of SIP trunking solutions specifically designed for large enterprises has been a limiting factor in adoption and market growth," says BroadSoft CEO Michael Tessler. "With the BroadSoft/Acme Packet solution, service providers can ensure business continuity for their customers, as well as provide a host of revenue-generating services as an 'overlay' to their connectivity offering."

The relationship between BroadSoft and Acme Packet, which dates back to 2001, has led to an offering that now supports products from more than 40 different IP PBX vendors. "It's really about taking whatever services you have today as an enterprise with your IP PBX or PBX and building on top of that through our joint solution, so you're never behind from a technology standpoint," says Leslie Ferry, BroadSoft's vice president of marketing.
