Q: What does your company do and how long has it been in operation? 
A: The SIP School has been providing online training and certification services to the communications industry since 2006.  It is the global leader in SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) education and the only issuing authority for the SSCA® SIP Certification.
 
Q: To what do you attribute your company’s success in the communications industry? 
A: Having a global reach through our services all being online and then having connections and partnerships with organizations, manufacturers and service providers – these are the great connections that help the most.
 
Q: What have been the biggest obstacles your company has faced in the marketplace? 
A: It’s always being finding the right person to talk with in any organization to see if we can help with their training needs, dealing with global carriers has been a challenge though we’ve finally made it.
 
Q: What do you see as your greatest challenges going forward? 
A: Keeping up with developments of SIP, as well as working on new protocols, such as WebRTC, which is evolving faster than any protocol before.
 
Q: What have been some of your company’s most recent achievements (new customer wins, new service/product deployment, etc.)? 
A: We’ve recently had some great success with AT&T and Verizon, and developed a fantastic system for students to test SIP trunks in a “live’ situation thanks to Broadsoft providing a Packetsmart platform for us.
 
Q: Why is it important for your company to be a COMPTEL member? 
A: To have the ability to meet and network with companies that we have never met before, as well as supporting the work that COMPTEL does.
