Royb,
Just wondering...Do you think that this system will save you money or cost you more?
What real advantages have you gotten from going with an all IP system verses a traditional system?
I have installed/maintained phone systems since 1988 and I'm really having a hard time seeing the advantage of going with an all I.P. system.
If you have to upgrade your entire I.P. network just to accommodate your new phone system, how long will it take for an actual ROI?
Also, why are you considering switching to Cisco after you've started the rollout?
Honestly, I've never seen a ShoreTel product and do not know it's strengths and weaknesses. 2000 systems with an average of 125 phones seems like a growing company.
Please don't think I'm being critical. I would truly like to know the advantages/disadvantages from someone who has actually installed/maintained a pure I.P. system. I'm getting older and need to know if I'm missing something or if I'm just stuck in the old school.
Thank you,
Larry
