Will someone please enlighten me? What is the term "enterprise" supposed to mean? Is that the new CG term for "large"? Sorry, but this reminds me of the Dunkin Donuts commercials where the coffee specialty shops refer to their sizes as just about anything but small, medium and large.

Geez, not only are these people trying to reinvent the wheel, but they are trying to rewrite the dictionary while they are at it.

Enterprise= el grande.

Tall, Venti, or Grande?
Sorry Ed, I had to

"Enterprise" doesn't just refer to size, but also to function. Usually, it is a mid-to-large size organization with multiple locations, that at some level, operates with uniform rules. For instance, every location/branch etc may have its own it/telecom dept. with its local responsibilities, but at some level their operations/planning must defer to the organisation as a whole, ie the "enterprize"-wide guielines/infrastructure.
To be competitive, you must be lean. Telecom/IT infrastructure can become particularly top-heavy. The savings to be realized from having a single infrastructure (and supporting staff) to handle all comms are significant. That infrastructure is the packet-switched networks that CAN work at all levels and with all types of communications.
Imo, this trend will trickle down. Unless you're one of those guys who thought 30 years ago that a 5-person office would never have use for a PBX, you should draw your own conclusions.

Of course if you are purchasing a new system it is relevant. Do you want to invest in old school TDM platforms that can be IP enanbled. Many customers have realized that the investment protection path provided to them by legacy PBX providers was leading to costly forklift upgrades, with additional costs for IP gateway cards. IP technology is more than just cost savings on your wire infrastructure. It is about simplicity, reliability, flexibility....items that are absent from the legacy system mentioned above.

The dark side is strong with that one.

Alright folks..enough! This post is wandering like a lost puppy. The OP was looking for a loud ringer app. He found it and is happy.
