The 1300 phones we're moving over in the next two months are being moved
off of cisco. The reason we're moving them over is a) cost and b)
security. From the cost perspective, we're paying a yearly license fee
for the servers themselves, as well as a per phone license for both the
connection to the call manager and the voicemail. Also, with the cisco
system, we've had to isolate the entire voice network since cisco only
allows "approved" windows updates on their system. With Asterisk, TCO is
much lower, the only yearly price they have to pay is the one that goes in
my pocket, and no licensing fees per phone. Win/Win if you ask me :)

Just out of curiosity what was the reasons for migrating off of Cisco? This
is interesting since I've run across people who swear by Cisco, but the
costs involved are just too unreasonable for me.

We're currently migrating off of a cisco call manager. I recommend
going slow with your transition -- do a chunk of phones, wait a week
or two before doing more. Asterisk excels at interoping with other
systems; take advantage of this.
Thanks.

Can you guys and girls give me some examples of companies using Asterisk
and
how many DIDs you have. I have built a small system and tested it with
AASTRA 480i's and all is working perfectly. I go in front of my
Management
Board tomorrow to demo the app and show them it is a viable
solution. We
are a medical facility with 12 facilities and a total of 1700
phones. Any
info you have would be a huge help when they ask who else is using it.
Thanks in advance!
