Skype accepted the industry standard and now opening up their platform for SIP support.
So Skype wants to go beyond the retail consumer VOIP market and all set to get into Enterprise VOIP and they know SIP dominates the Enterprise VOIP Market
VOIP venture as Skype for SIP allow company employees to make domestic and international calls using regular office telephones (PBX systems) instead of using only a computer and a headset for VoIP calls.
So The company that uses Skype for SIP, use skype to make calls out but using traditional phone line.
Skype would be basically your backbone for making calls or receiving calls as Skype also gives Incoming numbers in many parts of the world.
It gives enterprise VOIP Customers the ability to receive and manage inbound calls from Skype users to SIP-enabled PBX systems, enabling them to offer click-to-call functionality on websites. This move is similar to Corebridge VOIP solutions which offer similar functionality for enterprise VOIP customers.
to switch to Enterprise VOIP, you would consider Skype for SIP or would stick to good old SIP service Providers? We believe its not a cakewalk for Skype, especially when the Enterprise VOIP market has already crowded with SIP Providers and also large telephony companies.
Skype has to clearly define its advantage oves other SIP Providers to actually force existing Enterprise VOIP firms to switch to Skype SIP or have to target small-medium enterprise customers.
