I guess the main things are:

DID (Direct Inward Dial) to someones desk
Call Transfer between Desks, Conf. Calls between multiple desks and
external parties
VoiceMail (VM) support
Integrated VM and e-mail (assuming sound cards)
People working part-time from their homes, but being part of the VOIP PBX.  
   ie. Call Transfer, Call Forwarding, and/or DID

And then some of the hardware pieces: Analog phones to VOIP PBX to
Analog Phone Lines.

Some of that may apply if he is only talking about residential use,
but a lot would not.
