RE: OT: Why should I implement VOIP

  The reason for the business and finance people to implement VoIP is that the
company can save money. If you cannot demonstrate how the company will save
money (or make money) with VoIP, then all the excellent technical reasons and
all the posts in cyberspace will not help you get your VoIP equipment
purchased.

  The reason for an engineer to implement VoIP is gain knowledge. This is not
general knowledge, but real-world knowledge that can only be gained through
(hopefully not too painful) experiences that are not covered in any book and
that are singular to every deployment and implementation.

> If the question was about VoIP vs POTS / PRI, then there are cost advantages
with VoIP, but not without the pitfalls of fully understanding what you're
getting yourself involved in. If you're doing VoIP outside of your
organization, you're looking at SIP and you better have a provider who knows
what they are doing. 3rd party SIP is also going to require a dedicated link
to their environment, depending on where you are and how many trunks you need,
it may be cheaper with a PRI.
