Promoting Independence from GAFAM in VoIP through Standards and Open Source

Promoting Independence from GAFAM in VoIP through Standards and Open Source

Jehan Monnier, Co-founder of Belledonne Communications

The proprietary solutions of GAFAM, such as Microsoft Teams, for example, are widely used in organizations. However, they limit the freedom of organizations by creating technological and financial dependencies. To address this, the adoption of open standards like SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and open-source software offers a resilient alternative. These solutions ensure increased interoperability and security, as well as greater flexibility in managing other IT tools, such as address books and authentication.

By combining open source and open standards, organizations and users can adapt their VoIP services without being tied to a single vendor, thus ensuring continuity and long-term independence.

Outline:

I. Context
II. Why aim for independence in VoIP from GAFAM?
III. Open source and open standards as resilience tools
IV. Focus on two real-world cases: address book management and authentication
a. Address book management: The importance of interoperability for contact management, benefits of non-proprietary solutions for synchronizing contacts between services.
b. Authentication: Ensuring security and flexibility in access management by relying on open standards like OAuth2 and SIP-Identity.
V. Use cases: Comparison of open-source and proprietary solutions
