The same functionality was made generally available to users of the open source Asterisk IP PBX software on 1 September. That functionality has been available in beta since September 2008 . Stefan Oberg, VP and general manager of Skype for Business, said: "Skype for SIP is easy for businesses to configure and manage using Skype's Web-based business control panel (BCP), making it complementary to ShoreTel's UC system, which is renowned for its simplicity." Skype for SIP allows ShoreTel's business customers and their employees to receive inbound calls through their ShoreTel SIP-enabled UC system from more than 400 million registered Skype users around the world at no cost to the Skype user. In addition, organisations using ShoreTel can reduce their costs further by directing outbound calls from devices connected to the ShoreTel UC system via Skype for SIP to landlines and mobile devices worldwide at low Skype rates. Organisations that use ShoreTel with Skype for SIP can also purchase and associate online Skype numbers, currently available in more than 25 countries, with their ShoreTel UC system to receive inbound calls from landline and mobile phones.
