The presented study analyses the profitability of pure VoIP and integration solutions over a period of five years. It compares the two solution types for five model companies with the help of a traditional PBX solution: a small and a large company, as well as three medium-sized companies, with different communication infrastructures and different number of locations/sites.
SOREON conducted more than 40 detailed interviews with vendors, system integrators and user companies. Besides, price calculations and model-based quotations formed the basis of the comprehensive TCO simulation model.
