The Business Case for IP Telephony

If you don't have an IP PBX but wish you did, here are some points to consider when presenting your case:

• You can add new features more easily to software than to a traditional PBX.

• You can consolidate voice and data into a single line and save money.

• Many IP PBXs run on open systems, reducing management complexity. Proprietary systems may not confer this benefit.
