Hi.

My corporate office had a almost a brand new PBX system that is maybe 1 year old. Its pretty much the state of the art system with VOIP capabilities. It does everything the company needs and more without any problems.

The company hired a new tech guy who said that we should trash the PBX system so he can build us a Asterisk system instead.

Do you guys thing this is a good idea?

I am not sure what advantage the company would get from the asterisk box over my regular phone system (especially when it runs everything my company need just fine)

However this guy insist that we need to “ Upgrade to Asterisk” however I’m not sure if that would really be an upgrade or more of a downgrade.?

Thanks.
