Was bound to happen eventually.

@g.jacobse no phone is useful without a PBX. How are you functioning without a PBX today? Are you paying for a 1960s Key System from the phone company?

Uhm yea - about that,...We have a onsite Nortel NorStar system at the main office,.. but I'm pretty sure it is otherwise POTS.... as it 90% of all of our remote sites. It was this way when I started last year - but I fully plan to move us into the modern world...

Nortel made PBXs, long ago. That's just an old PBX.

POTS is the outside lines, doesn't refer to the inside ones. At a minimum that's almost certainly a digital (not IP) phone system. Pretty rough, though.

While it's pretty, it still doesn't make coffee (i.e. No killer features that make it a must have and unique).
Sure it has a pretty screen and the camera is ok but it still makes phone calls, has sms & email facilities and lets me read the time from the car park (big screen) but so do plenty of other less expensive phones.

Call me cynical but I think it'll end up being just another expensive phone.

Remind me to never borrow your phone.

Should you really define a system as brilliant if it doesn't service the needs of the users?

Yes. If they sacked the users and replaced them with new ones then my brilliant systems would save the company a fortune!

And potentially even more if they sacked the users and didn't replace them! Now that really saves the money.
