What factors need to be considered when replacing a PABX system with VoIP?

I am trying to recommend a strategy to build from scratch a VoIP network to replace an existing PABX system at a university. The university also has remote campuses around the country (Namibia). I intend to use Asterisk open source software. What are other important factors and conditions that I need to consider in preparing this project?
