This technical white paper explains why SIP and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) are set to revolutionize Voice and Web Services. It describes how the strengths of these two complementary technologies combine to deliver advanced services. Detailed examples of services supported through SIP and SOAP are provided.
A focal point for convergence of Web and Voice Services at the application layer is a new Internet protocol – SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). SIP is changing the way people think about Voice Services on next generation communication networks. Meanwhile, another technology is poised to take Web
Services to new heights – SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). SOAP makes sophisticated Web Services possible and SIP allows them to be presented within integrated communication applications
that include Voice Services. This paper provides the background to these two exciting technologies and examines what the future holds as they combine to deliver new services.
