Enterprise: Choosing Between Hybrid and Pure IP VoIP Systems
Telephony has been moving from PSTN/ POTS systems to hybrid IP-PBXes, as far as enterprise VoIP systems go. But some people expect that hybrid VoIP systems, which support TDM and IP calls, will be outdated in just a few years, supplanted by pure IP that is well integrated with data applications. [via Datamation]
Thus, companies who are currently planning a switch to VoIP need to consider what sort of system that they want to go with. If this is the situation you find yourself in, ask yourself how you to plan to use VoIP. If your business cannot benefit from integrated data applications, then a hybrid system is probably sufficient. But if you want to be able to build, say, a sophisticated CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, a pure IP system is the direction you should consider.
