1 thing to consider is that the Aspire is a Nitsuko i series on steroids. It is great. I am realizing though that to keep the NEC techs happy the programming is formatted to suit them. In doing so, a lot of the tweaking that could be done on the i series can't be done on the Aspire.
Like the Nitsuko (NEC now) you get A LOT of bang for the buck.
As far as dependability goes, it has really only been around for about a year but both NEC and Nitsuko systems have been ultra-reliable in the past.

Is there minimun sales requirements to be a dealer.

Thanks

ttech,
I was going to sell it through a distributor not through NEC direct so we only talked in generalities as far as minimum commitment levels.

If you are looking for a good VOIP solution, Check out Artisoft. They have a IPPBX, PBX, VoiceMail, Call Center, Call Recording, Custom IVR Platform. It is an all in one telephony platform. I sell this product & love it. We are winnining deals all the time now with this in our bag.

I've been installing the nitsuko products for 12 years, and as far as durability they have all been workhorses. The new Aspire appears to be continuing that tradition, but time will tell. So far I am really impressed with what this system can do. Both TDM and IP capable for a reletively small cost when comparing to other systems that are as feature rich.

Whe're (a small dutch compagnie) starting up with the Aspire for the more demanding customers. But whe aspect to sell more of the smaller Bosch Aspire. Up to 120 phones and a max trunk of 30 lines. But also VoIP capable.

Ehm stupid mistake, it should be the Bosch Tenovis, ofcourse not the aspire

Are you a regular NEC KTS Reseller? Not to far down the pipe the ECTI will have many of the same feature set as the Aspire.

My company has about 100 Aspire systems installed to date. Both my staff and the customers who use them are extemely pleased. Its reliability and ease of use makes it a first choice for most companies. Whereas it has excellent IP networking capabilities, it is weak using point-to-point T1s. Regardless, to refer to it as a key system is like calling a 1999 Ferrari 355 Spider a used car.

My question is how does the Aspire compare to the Avaya IP Office. I have three of the IP Office systems and in the future want to connect all 13 of my buildings with a fibre ring, so am trying to get the same switches. However cost is also an issue and needs to be considered.
