| Although I have already received 2 complete quotes from Avaya (initial and revised) I have only received wishy washy ballparks from the "other" integrator.
Albeit, the ballpark given was comparable for a complete install of a new system (forklift upgrade, phones included) as it is to IP enable our current system keeping our digital phone sets. But until I see a hard proposal I am not going to count on it. Then of course I would have to consider any upgrades to our existing LAN to accomodate the additional voice traffic. I already know my switches are not PoE ready, so there's an immediate additional expense for those as well.
That ballpark also did NOT include redundancy between sites either, that would require additional licensing... and expense, another ballpark figure provided. There was also no mention whether or not that figure included installation and training... He's a slick salesman though, I'll give him that! He knows how to rub the right people the right way! |
