My small business needs a PBX solution. I have received two proposals from local electricians. One recommends a Panasonic KX-TA824 phone system while the other recommends an Avaya Partner ACS Rel 7.0 system. I also require a paging system. I will only need at most 5 phones. I am getting Verizon to install 4 lines next week.
I am not sure which is the better system, the Panasonic or the Avaya.
I checked out the manual for both systems and they both seem pretty simple to install and program. I have excellent PC knowledge and am pretty handy with electrical equipment so I've thought of possibly installing the system myself.
Am I better off letting a professional do it or is it simple enough that I can do it myself and save money?
I have also thought about going with an IP PBX system but I'm not sure if this technology is mature enough yet. I think I will stick with standard PBX.
