"Deploying PeerPoint allows us to say 'yes' more often when a salesperson brings us an interested customer prospect," said Sam Mullins, Senior Director of Network Systems Engineering at Primus. "It eliminates the uncertainties about how many firewalls are on the customer premises, what's the topology and the security environment, and so on. We're also looking forward to reducing our technical support costs by eliminating questions that would otherwise arise when the customer makes a network change. This solution has been an easy 'bolt-on' addition to our existing network, and has not required us to re-architect our own topology."

Within 6 weeks of initial contact, we were up and running selling our call termination Call Termination, also known as voice termination, refers to the handing off or routing of calls from one telephone company, also known as a carrier or provider, to another telephone company. The terminating point is end point. services over a new, VoIP access path without having to worry about coping with customer firewall issues." Major value provided to WorldWide Telco by Jasomi came in three forms: the ability to push VoIP through the firewalls of its customers without putting any equipment or software on the customer's premises; the ability to add VoIP as an extension to an existing successful non-VoIP telephony business; and the ability to integrate it all rapidly without spending months or years coming up to speed on VoIP solutions.

"Jasomi was very responsive to our technical and business needs, but most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially to us - the stuff actually works. We've been able to remove a few of the major VoIP obstacles by deploying PeerPoint: NAT traversal, security, and protocol compatibility issues. PeerPoint's Protocol Repair Engine removed several incompatibilities that would otherwise have prevented us from deploying our SIP user agent of choice."

"We looked for a solution that would let us push through the NAT (Network Address Translation) An IETF standard that allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. and firewall issues that VoIP runs into all the time, and that will be a factor for people exploring ENUM," said Michael Haberler, chairman of Internet Foundation Austria. "Jasomi's solution was the only one that worked well enough to let us stop thinking about firewalls and start thinking about serving customers. The company was also very responsive to our enquiries, and had a solution that fit our business needs."

Teleplus Consulting has deployed Jasomi's PeerPoint SIP to SIP Gateway as a means of allowing its enterprise clients to test VoIP, instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or , presence, and ad-hoc conferencing prior to roll-out of integrated voice and data solutions.

"As a result, we're able to present IP-based voice and video as not only a compelling value proposition, but one that 'just works' with the network topologies that corporate customers already have in place." In addition to these service provider customers, Jasomi continues to derive a substantial portion of its revenues from enterprise customers implementing a variety of voice and video over IP capabilities. Many of these capabilities are forming the basis of integrated information applications, combining presence and instant messaging Presence and Instant Messaging (PRIM) was an early proposal to the IETF of a standard protocol for instant messaging. No work has been done on it since 2001, however. Currently, SIP, its derivative SIMPLE, and XMPP are being considered for use as instant messaging protocols. services with multi-media voice and video, either as new, standalone applications or as enhancements to existing applications. In many cases, these applications go beyond traditional telephony to reach out to customers, web site users, factory workers on the shop floor, and so on. Jasomi continues to support these corporate explorations, and recently hosted a presence and instant messaging interoperability event, at which many large enterprise software and hardware vendors participated.
