Three Forms
• IP-enabled– PBX core with optional VoIP
• Converged IP– Combined VoIP and PBX core
• IP only– IP core
![Page 9: Selecting the Right IP PBX Solution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812eea550346895d9486be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
IP Enabled
• Pros– Mature, reliable backbone
– Feature rich core
– Strong protection of existing investment
– IP growth at a managed pace
– Disruption of staff is minimized
– Most popular approach for large existing installations
![Page 10: Selecting the Right IP PBX Solution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812eea550346895d9486be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
IP Enabled
• Cons– Limited IP scalability
– PBX core will ultimately limit the applications
– Incremental IP station growth may cost more
– Benefits of a converged infrastructure cannot be fully realized
![Page 11: Selecting the Right IP PBX Solution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812eea550346895d9486be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Converged IP
• Pros– Usually based on established software
– Strong Features
– IP scales more cost effectively
– Usually supports digital expansion
– Lends itself best to blended IP and digital
– Great for planned migration
– Most popular for new system deployments and same vendor migration plans
![Page 12: Selecting the Right IP PBX Solution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812eea550346895d9486be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Converged IP
• Cons– Not ideal when used in one extreme or another
(IP vs. Digital)
– Newer IP-based applications may still have limitations (varies by vendor)
– Scalability of IP at the desk still limited
![Page 13: Selecting the Right IP PBX Solution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812eea550346895d9486be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
IP Only
• Pros– Scales very easily
– Management usually designed for the data administrator
– Tends to use more open standards for interoperability
– Least amount of geographic dependence
– Greatest long term opportunity for new application features
– Most popular for new site installations with strong IT staff

January 23-26, 2007• Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
IP Only
• Cons– Support for digital desktops almost non-existent
– Analog connectivity more costly due to conversion technology
– Migration options limited
– Transition is most costly and disruptive
