here's what iv'e experienced.....
Happy Voip Customer
Fortune 500 insurance company with 20 locations in NJ...pays us to run a totally new cat5e cable to every desk, installs totally new T1 for Voip, Installs totally seperate PoE switches & router. Plus new Polycom phone in at every desk. The new voip system NEVER comes into contact with their Data network.
ROI YES
Cheaper to Maintain Absolutley.
Unhappy VOIP Customer
Small business with 20 people hears about hype of Voip, Sleezy sales men from "New Rebadged Asterisk" company do impressive demo & tell small business owner it will work no problems over that cable modem, it will share the same cables & switches you currently have. 3 months after installation small business has same phones on desk as big company but is left frustrated that its not working to plan.
ROI Never
Cheaper to maintain?.....of course not, they end up spending way more.......
Look at the word Asterisk.......look at the last 4 letters........RISK................
