I think it's called Switchvox. Supports T1s, etc, fine, and they just came out with a line of custom phones with some interesting features. ---- Jack Kramer Manager of Information Technology Communications and Brand Strategy Michigan State University w: 517-884-1231 / c: 248-635-4955 From: James Kerr <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wednesday, August 8, 2012 8:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Phone System Recommendations Our solution will be in house, our VOIP traffic between offices will be going through a private point to point T1. We want to manage typical phone system changes, adds, moves, changes in the attendant, adding new extensions, VM's etc. The trunking and more complex stuff we will leave to our vendor: I do believe I have found a good one, our current vendor is Blackbox who also sells ShoreTel but I do not believe we will be going with them. Also, I forgot to mention in my first post, our facilities are medical clinics. One thought is this has been business continuity, we are in hurricane country, if one of our offices is destroyed we want to be able to operate each system independently if needed. I worry a bit about latency issues going across the Internet with hosted solutions and also privacy which is why I want a T1 dedicated so our interoffice calls are not going across the Internet even though we have 10Mb Ethernet at each location.

(RingCentral) I don’t use them for office phones, but I do a lot of call center management with them for some of our projects. (Although, I am considering them for office phones down the road).

Warm regards Stu From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2012 9:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Phone System Recommendations Heh guys, Looking for some recommendations on a phone system. We are about to replace our current Inter-Tel system with something new. We have about 150 phones at two sites. We (the IT staff) manage most of the current phone system. For our new system I'm looking for something that's easier for IT staff to manage and that has better backup functionality of the system database and VM and some redundancy so that if one site goes down the other is still operational. So far everything, based on my own research, has steered me towards Shore-Tel but I was wondering if their where others that were out there that maybe as good or better.
