Alternatively to connect the company, you could have a shared contact list synced up with Exchange or Gmail with everyone's numbers and use WhatsApp voice calling or if you are feeling generous give everyone an iPhone and use FaceTime Audio....boom that way you reduce setup time by immense amounts...

Some companies (the smart ones) don’t want to turn over all their internal data to giant companies who’s primary business model is to collect and sell data.

Also, the solution you propose would be a nightmare to manage.

Does Microsoft collect and sell data for their Exchange product?

It's just one option for a small business. If there's less than 10 of you, it would be an easy option with minimal fuss as along as you can have a couple of tech-savy admins. Agreed that when you get large it be harder to manage.

To be honest, I felt like you read my comment and intrepreted it in the most critical way you could. For different situations there are different appropriate solutions. I was just mentioning a narrow use case. Horses for courses.
