I met with a prospect today who has an ESI system in a business he bought. He also has an NEC BDS (i think? ... the KSU said BDS and the phone model was BDS 34)that he owned in a previous business and has 10+ phones for it including a system cordless phone (i think). He is moving and the space he is moving into has an NEC Aspire KSU on the wall with no phones.

So my task is now to decide what makes the most sense for him... he likes the way the BDS operates and he wouldn't need to add any phones. In order to use the ESI system he would need to buy 4 or 5 phones including a multi line cordless. The Aspire would require purchasing 10 or 11 phones... and if i remeber correctly this is actually a Nitsuko system??

I am an ESI reseller so that would be a piece of cake for us....

Any info / thoughts on the BDS... how old?... decent system? ... and most importantly is anyone here comfortable with it and willing to sell me an hour or two of phone support if needed?
