Now it's time for you to vote on the proposition: Are SIP Trunking savings enough of a justification for migrating?

NOW: Vote for the Winning Side
With the positions laid out by Sorell and Marty, and commenters having weighed in, we want to ask you to vote on which position you think was advanced more convincingly by all those who contributed their ideas to this forum. Take the poll below and see the results:



Just Reading this Debate for the First Time? Start Here:
Welcome to the No Jitter Great Debate series. Our topic for this week is, "Are SIP Trunk Cost Savings Being Overstated as a Justification for Migrating?" and our debaters are:

* Marty Parker of UniComm Consulting and UCStrategies.com; and
* Sorell Slaymaker of Unified IT Systems.

Each of our debaters states his position on a following page; there are links to both posts on this page, so you can start with either one.

When you've read the two sides of the debate, we ask you to join in: Leave a Comment telling us whose position you are more in agreement with and why; amplify and add your own arguments. Early next week, we'll post an online poll asking our readers which position they most agree with--not necessarily which of the original debaters, but which side of the argument, Yes or No. So if you want to sway that vote, leave Comments advocating your position.

Here are the two debate posts to get us started:

YES: SIP Trunk Cost Savings Are An Overstated Reason to Migrate Your PBX

NO: SIP Trunking Cost Savings Are Real
