Standards development and interoperability testing are only two of their important contributions to the continued expansion of SIP-based communication solutions. Member organizations include Avaya, Cable Labs, Acme Packet, Polycom, Ingate Systems, as well as cBeyond.

Mr. Gatch plans to continue his leadership role, promoting the evolution of the SIP technical standard to address the growing communication issues of “... vendors, providers and customers ...' Looking forward to his future service on the SIP Forum Board, Mr. Gatch commented “I will continue to work with the SIP Forum to uncover additional ways the technology can meet the needs of small businesses." Small business solutions are cBeyond's bread and butter, with packages offered for local and long-distance voice, broadband Internet, mobile, BlackBerry(R), voicemail, email, web hosting, fax-to-email, data backup, file-sharing, virtual private networking and cloud services.
