You can actually buy IP Phones that have an Ethernet switch incorporated in them and take advantage of your existing cabling infrastructure with no need for new switches etc. I have only used Cisco 188 ATA without any troubles at all but those only have 2 ports and not applicable for your situation. Otherwise you can try Software SIP Phones if everyone is using a PC
