It is very important for a business entity to be as cost effective as possible and keep overhead low. Although some people say that this is only necessary for small businesses, I think that small or big companies should follow the same principle.
A couple of months ago, I was introduced to 3CX Small Business Phone System. This is a windows based telephony system that is fuss-free and cable-less and yet comes with all the telephone features that we have come to expect from PABX telephone systems.
3CX currently has four packages that would suit any company with their telephony needs and fir their budgets. There is even a free edition but it does not come with Support. I believe that this is good for companies which prefer to give the system a trial run first.

3CX Small Business Phone System provides Economical Enterprise Telephony on Windows
3CX today released version 3.1 of its Small Business Phone System. 3CX Phone System is a Windows-based IP PBX that completely replaces a proprietary PABX. Its based on the open SIP standard and interoperates with a wide range of popular SIP phones, VOIP Gateways and SIP-based providers. Although it includes enterprise telephony features such as Call Queuing, Voice Mail and Auto attendant, its targeted at the SMB market - 3CX Phone System is easy to install, manage and its low cost.
“The release of 3CX Phone System is set to accelerate the massive change occurring in the Telephony market space. With 3CX Phone System, advanced features such as Call Queuing can now be obtained for a fraction of the price of traditional Enterprise PBXs.

3CX Phone System Free edition
A free edition, supporting an unlimited number of extensions, is also available.

Not withstanding, the Free Edition does more than most commercial PBXs do; including an auto attendant, voice mail and even user-to-user support via the 3CX moderated product forums at http://www.3cx.com/forums/.
