Cisco supports 2 central IP PBX implementations - on a set of servers, or on
a cisco router. Severs are usually for big deployments, and router platform
for smaller ones
you might need further servers for voicemail and other more complex
services, but this is pretty much standard IP telephony.
50 phones is well within the Call Manager Express capability on a router,
but you would need to check whether the functions you already use are all
supported.

if you havent done it before find a reseller since they can help set it up
