An apparatus, along with its associated methods, that integrates a database workflow within a multimedia networking environment is described. In one embodiment, a gatekeeper having a database that supports a networking workflow and a gateway communicatively coupled to the gatekeeper is described. The database may comprise an object-oriented database. The networking workflow may be a networking layer, session layer or other layer workflow. The gateway may comprise an IP intranet network interface, where the IP intranet network is capable of transporting real time packet switched traffic, separated from a network interface by a translation layer. The IP intranet network may be an H.323 network. The network interfaces include but are not limited to PSTN, ISDN, ATM, Cable TV or the internet. Also, the gatekeeper and gateway may be integrated within the same chassis.
