Choosing the correct IP-PBX for your enterprise is no small challenge. With myriad solutions available, some from new players, other from legacy providers, whose solution is best for your particular installation? One size does not fit all. In some instances strong legacy support will be critical. In others, standards compliance will be crucial. In other situations, branch office support at a low cost or centralized management features will be important to consider. Will the new IP-PBX work well with your current infrastructure? Do you need to rip it out and rebuild? What about support, security and service. This panel will strive to answer important questions from the audience and give you a unique perspective on what items to consider before selecting a solution that is right for your enterprise.
