- receiving a SIP message;
retrieving, by an application manager, a user profile, the user profile comprising one or more filter criteria, the filter criteria comprising one or more service point triggers, the one or more service point triggers identifying an application server to be invoked and accounting information to be captured during a communication session with the application server;
matching the one or more service point triggers with data associated with the SIP message;
invoking a communication session with an application server identified by the service point trigger matched;
determining the accounting information to be captured during the communication session as identified by the service point trigger; and
capturing during the communication session, at the application manager, the accounting information identified by the service point trigger matched.
