XMPP can be configured by group. Then all of the users will get added to your XMPP account automagically...
Create a user group, add your users to the group and then go into the group, click on Instant Messaging on the left, select 'Enable IM account', and I usually add My Buddy in as well on that same screen. After this, the next time you sign in to xmpp with your xmpp client the group name should appear with all the users listed in that group. The voice operator panel product is nice because you can just use that to drag and drop calls and it will use the RLS server and/or XMPP for presence. It's a little pricey by very functional for operators. If your needs are smaller their Lite version will give you presence for up to 20 other phones and that is only $149.00.
