The cost saving that will be the main reason before licenses is the amount of 
hardware resources currently used, the system we are using in total is using 
around 128 GB of RAM, 64 cores of CPU, and total of 4TB of storage;
That is for just basic telephony for around 400 phones with call recording for 
some with a mostly non working HA and not to mention the DSP devices for PRI 
lines and media resources for phones which is using almost an entire rack.

If such can be reduced for two kamailio nodes and a couple freeswitch nodes for 
any IVR / conferencing / voicemail that would at least lower the resources to 
the half of what being used if not more, keeping in mind that Calls per second 
count and concurrent calls count is really low.

To put this into perspective, to integrate the telephony system with MS Teams 
it will cost 70,000$ USD just for installation and basic configuration just to 
ring a deskphone when someone calls you on Teams..

I think it’s misguided to approach FOSS as a cost savings move. Of course this 
is an obvious benefit with the main easily detected benefit being the lack of 
any cost for the software itself and no licensing / recurring license fees.
