Hmmmmm, I can name five places this past weekend where I saw new premise hardware based systems installed:
Nordstrom Avaya Aura at Oakbrook Center, Oakbrook, IL
Build a Bear workshop, Oakbrook, Cisco Call Manager
Mariano's Fresh Market Chicago, IL Toshiba CIX
A brand new Carson's Department Store Evergreen Park, IL Vertical IP Wave
Round Barn Brewery Tap Room, Baroda, MI Vertical IP Wave
Are you guys speaking about everything that uses phones such as hospitals, 911 centers, airports, retail stores, or are you referring to the general office environment? Offices are using hosted more, and maybe some retail locations like phoneguy610 said....but from what I see out in the field, I still see premise based phones everywhere....and tons of new IP Offices installed, such as at the TJX Companies retail locations.
