Should our business consider VoIP phone systems?
We only have 15 employees in our business, and we don't make many international calls. Is VoIP still worth it?

I think first you have to understand the difference between "Hosted" VOIP and "Premise" VOIP.
Hosted is easy and fast to set up but is dependent on Internet speed and reliability. Premise VOIP PBX uses the traditional phone lines but gives you tremendous features over traditional equipment. I would recommend you talk to a company, like ours, that offers both and start to get an idea as to which is best for your situation. Best,

Joe,
We service customers that have 2 users and beyond. A hosted voip solution can be a great alternative to traditional on-premise voip options as you can realize a greater cost savings and typically see more features.
Northwest Vox is a carrier based out of Seattle that provides businesses with an extremely robust, feature rich, hosted PBX environment in a very cost effective way.
We have built a cloud based PBX environment that gives you the complete functionality of a fully featured PBX without the up-front investment. Call recording, sales queue's, time based auto-attendants and voicemail/fax to email are just a few of the features we offer, which are never nickled and dimed. With Northwest Vox, it's all inclusive.
We understand that in this economy cash flow is king. Our pricing model accommodates this. Each phone line on our system is $49.99/mo and includes a fully featured extension and Polycom Soundpoint Series phone. Additional Extensions are $14.99 and also include the same Polycom phones.
You have 15 users, and you had a need for 6 simultaneous calls on the system at any given time, and an additional 9 extensions and a physical fax line (at $9.99), it would be $444.84/mo (plus taxes depending on your location). We also cover all the installation costs, and don't worry - you can keep your phone numbers.
No hardware to purchase, no installers to pay, you can start to realize the ROI the first month. Of course, all of this implies expert 24/7 customer support.
I hope to hear from you and get the opportunity to hear about your needs, get you a demo unit, and send you a formal proposal.
-Thanks,

Yes, you should only consider VOIP. The products that are on the market today are better than the legacy equipment being sold. All of the advances and integration with other products will be done in the VOIP space. I suggest you will have to be careful because there are a lot of companies in the VOIP space that will not be there in a few years. We sell 3com VCX, Adtran, and Cisco because they are reputable and will be there for a long time.
You might consider the Adtran 7100 since it is a 1U device that contains a 24port POE switch, router, VPN firewall, and 100 user phone system for $5k + phones and installation.
