Re: OT: Why should I implement VOIP

Oh this is just begging for the traditional Cisco sales pitch : ) No, but
seriously...I will offer a few things for you. Granted, I am not a voice
guy so take this however you want.

1) Data/Voice convergence -- This is a big thing for Cisco. Getting your
data and your voice all on to a single converged network system. No more
isolation of data network and telecom. No more CAT-5 v.s RJ-11 being run.
EVERYTHING on the network.

2) Less overhead of legacy PBX systems -- Some of those old systems are a
pain. And let's face it, they are reliable as anything, but if something
does go wrong it is a MAJOR outage and difficult to fix without a
specialized person that does JUST pbx stuff

3) OK I'll say it -- Toll bypass. Even though from what I understand, this
is less of a selling point than it used to be the fact still remains that if
you have a solid WAN with QoS implemented properly, you can make site to
site calls over the network instead of paying a long distance carrier.

So there are three pros for you.
