NEC makes both. A lot depends on where the majority of the phones will be and whether you have mobile workers. You can add VoIP to an NEC system, for the casual VoIP connection if most of the phones on the system are in the same area.

A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a switch station for telephone systems. It consists mainly of several branches of telephone systems and it switches connections to and from them, thereby linking phone lines.
Companies use a PBX for connecting all their internal phones to an external line. This way, they can lease only one line and have many people using it, with each one having a phone at the desk with different number. The number is not in the same format as a phone number though, as it depends on the internal numbering. Inside a PBX, you only need to dial three-digit or four-digit numbers to make a call to another phone in the network. We often refer to this number as an extension
The main technical roles of a PBX are:
To switch between telephone users thereby creating connections
To make sure the connection remains in place properly by keeping its resources
To properly end the connection when a user hangs up
To record the quantities, statistics and metering related to the calls
Practically, the functions of a PBX are the following:
Provide one single number that external callers can use to access all persons in a company.
Distribute calls to employees in a answering team in an even way; using the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) feature.
Automate call answering, but offering a menu of options from which a user can select to be directed to a specific extension or department.
Allow the use of customized business greetings while answering calls.
Provide system call management features.
Place external callers on hold while waiting for a requested person to answer, and playing music or customized commercial messages for the caller waiting.
Record voice messages for any extension from an external caller.
Transfer calls between internal extensions.
IP-PBX
PBXs are not only for VoIP but have been around for landline telephone systems as well. A PBX that is specifically made for VoIP is called an IP PBX, which stands for Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange).
Up to now, PBXs have been a business luxury that only huge companies could afford. Now, with IP-PBXs, medium-sized and even some small companies can also benefit from the features and functionalities of a PBX while using VoIP. True they have to invest some money into hardware and software, but the return and benefits are considerable in the long term, both operationally and financially.
