Jabber leverages open standard eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to provide enterprise class unified communication platforms. Yet another big company invests in XMPP after Google selecting XMPP for their GTalk service.

Kamailio (OpenSER) includes its SIP/SIMPLE-XMPP gateway for a while now, although still in beta stage. With a speed up of IM&P growing market, the interoperability between SIP and XMPP becomes an important fact that can lead to successful communication service.
