At work we have a BT Inspiration and it's great for what we need it to do.
However, it doesn't have a voicemail module, we have no means of recording calls, we can't do an IVR, we can't redirect the MANY, MAANNYYY sales calls we get to Lenny etc etc etc.

However, I'm wary of ripping out the Inspiration and replacing with Asterisk and Cisco phones because - for the most part - the Inspiration is fine and we have the featurephones already.

Can anyone advise...is it possible to use a hybrid system and what benefits (if any) and what caveats does that bring?

Thank you
