VOIPs Project
Western Governors University
EXPLANATION
Our proposed voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phone system is powered by Cisco. It is consist of several hardware and software devices. The most basic piece of hardware to be used is the Cisco PBX. This device cost $6000. It supports a surplus of over 1000 extensions. The company has got an approximate 120 users of the old IP telephony system. In this regard three Cisco catalyst switch (POE) 48 ports will be needed. Such a switch cost $893.93 each. Three EnGenius EGS7252FP switches will be interconnected with trunk ports along each other supporting 144 VOIPS extensions in the network. (amazon, 2015)
Furthermore, 120 Cisco SPA 502G

The initial cost for phone, system equipment, networking equipment and IP handsets is approximately $30,000. This is a direct purchase and will be incurred as a one-time cost. Similarly, the licenses provided by Cisco are one-time costs and provide voicemail services, unified messaging services, SIP trunk access and endpoint access for physical telephone handsets as well as soft phone clients. The cost to purchase these licenses comes to approximately $18,000 and will be incurred later in the phase of development. (voiplink, 2015)
Additionally, during the first phase of the project there will be costs associated with consulting, installation and training. These costs are a bit more flexible than the hardware and licensing costs, because the amount of training provided to end-users is up to the company to decide. A reasonable estimate for initial training is $12,000 with a 10% recurring cost each year.
Consulting and installation fees are being calculated at $10,000 with a 10% recurring annual cost for additional consulting. The largest recurring cost will be for SIP trunk services, to provide telephone access for calls outside the organization. The annual cost for 120 SIP trunks is approximately $35,000 but future analysis may dictate a reduction in the number of trunks required. Since this potential reduction in SIP services cannot be accurately calculated at this time, the recurring annual cost is being estimated for the full amount of $35,000. This
The WAN will link all of the site networks together which will in turn boost the network speed and the way employees communicate. The communication aspect of the new network will incorporate a VoIP system and will be managed at one central location. “The great thing about VoIP is that it taps additional value from the already existing infrastructure without additional costs” This will provide the highest quality of phone network will saving on the cost of out phone services.
This determines the project’s outcome, usefulness, effectiveness, cost, and time it takes the project to be completed. This also determines the future outcome of the project and will be needed for an upgrade. The scope of the project will be determine and completed within six months. The resources constraints of completing the project will be determine by cost and time. The cost could be higher from the original cost for the completion of the project. The expected cost of the project will be $50,000. This will include paying the project team, cost of software, and hardware. The V.P. of operations of Riordan Manufacturing will approve any changes made to the project. The project team that will be working on this project will be the IT department within the company.
1.4.2 “Solutions R Us” Technical Consultants have provided a quote of $105,000. The system will last for 10 years. Their quote includes technical support. The quote includes all the required hardware, however, the hardware must be checked and serviced by them, twice a year at a cost of $500 per
When it comes to VoIP phone systems, the "Vo" part refers to voice over, and the IP part stands for having your phone calls routed over the Internet. Many business owners have opted for these phone systems because they are cheaper than having numerous and separate phones in the office. You do not have to use the network or telephone service to make phone calls, which lowers the overall cost. At the same time, there are advantages of using IP technology for telecommunication.
Careful, the complexity of services can occasionally make it tough to recognize what you want and what you are getting. Whichever provider you choose, the thing to remember is VoIP is the starting point in UC. Once you have got that finalized, you can introduce the use of other UC options available, like messaging, presence, video, chat, mobile and other integration tools. Remember, there is no turning back once the workforce starts using UC and is dependent on tools like chatting, screen sharing and presence indicators. For UC to live up to team’s expectations, you will probably need companies like Zyrion or SolarWinds etc. to monitor your UC components.
If your company cell phone bill is either $40 when you use up to 300 minutes per month or $80 when you use between 300 to 400 minutes per month, the marginal cost of the 301st minute is
Average salary per employee is equal to 100k and a number of participating employees which has 50 employees per each of the 4 waves. The consulting cost is that 15400 per month._
This cost the company $168,750. We presume that this is also the cost incurred by the company every year. Since the cost of installation is $20,000 plus hiring of a full time skilled operator.
4) Against the background of your answer to questions #1 and #2, how should Cisco distribute VoIP products? Through voice VARs? Data VARs? Or both?
The cost of implementation of the options: It deals with the technicians and the reduction in time of implementation. This leads to better customer service and increases efficiency of the technicians. Also considering a customer base reduction of 5% (Exhibit 2), $1 million dollars will be a prudent investment.
The costs in creating this unit are estimated at $7.5 million. $3.2 million is associated with officers’ salaries. Department division staff will receive about $2.3 million. Benefits will cost $1.5 million. Training is estimated to project $94,000. Communication is allocated at $80,000.

VoIP is a relatively new technology and so the benefits are just beginning to be realized. VoIP technology has the ability to completely change the telephone industry as we know it. Big changes are in store for the way we use telephones and this section will address some of the changes to expect. Obstacles still stand in the way of progression and there are problems that need to be addressed before this technology can take over.
