What are the Advantages of an IP PBX?

Compared to a conventional PBX, an IP PBX
-handles both voice and data,
-is cheaper since it requires only one network to install and maintain instead of two,
-reduces equipment costs (only IP based products; no voice products needed),
-reduces long distance charges for inter-branch office calls (by using the data network),
-is easier to provision (just plug in from wherever),
supports services such as unified messaging,
-is more flexible,
-is more scalable,
-makes it easier to provide new services, such as data and video collaboration,
-allows remote configuration (over the Web), and
-supports modular software upgrades, new technologies (new CPUs, etc.) are easy to incorporate.
