A method and apparatus for enabling a network-based solution for enterprise customers that is integrated with premise-based equipment is disclosed. The premise-based solution can be quickly enabled in the event that the primary network, e.g., VoIP network, connectivity is lost. The premise-based equipment, e.g. a VoIP switch, can be minimally configured and equipped to play the role of a hot standby proxy for network based VoIP services if connection to the primary VoIP network is lost. Intelligent services typically accessed in network based VoIP services can be enabled on the premise equipment and VoIP gateways to an alternate network, e.g., a WAN or a PSTN, can be activated. Network operators can remotely activate this equipment on behalf of the enterprise customer until the primary network connection is restored.
