Worked at a few places that did just that. One used SIP phones for actual voice chat. Liked it very much.

To respond to the sibling comment: we had text files on a share that we could actually grep. Far better than the inexact, incomplete search functionality that seems to have become normal these days.

being able to just brute force text searches including using custom scripts is awesome. especially with the trend of search engines going south.
