I'd have to agree. There are too many large organizations using IP telephony. I come from the healthcare world. We are implimenting over 3000 ip phones. Baylor is implementing over 13000 and we are not alone. The PBX is becoming a dinosaur. To succeed you must plan, plan, plan. I would suggest even bringing in outside consultants that have done this on a wide scale if the experience level is not there.
