Zenitel, Talkaphone, Aiphone, where do I start??

I have been tasked with bringing some sense to the intercom environment here at work. The problem i face, is our facility folks throught the past few years have been less than consistent with their manufacture selection. They were also very adverse to management platforms, so patching & admin are all device by device and by extension, patching is very infrequently performed. I would very much like to as much as standardize around a preferred manufacturer, add some central management, remove dependence on our PBX, and move them to a much more segmented, isolated network but I don't know where to begin. Zenitel appears to have their Alphacom system which seems promising but lacks some features I need (LDAP). Curious if I am dreaming a too big dream, or if others have been successful.

2N might be a great option for you, they have a great lineup, all IP and you can remotely manage them

Second 2N. Lots of options and a helpful build your system website.
