Sure you can get IP with BCM, but not much else. I have not done as many BCM's as I have MICS & CICS, and not as many IP Office's as BCM's, but the feature set in the IP office is much better than any BCM. I won't do a BCM anymore unless specifically requested, and only after I explain that it is discontinued in less than 6 months. An IP Office can use existing Nortel sets and also add additional Avaya and Non-Avaya SIP sets. With BCM you are stuck with phones that aren't made anymore.
