Press Release Body = London, UK - 03 September 2007 - SIP server software developer, 3CX and UK-based software distributor, Zen Software have entered into a strategic relationship to promote and manage the distribution of 3CX - a VoIP PBX for Windows - in the UK and Ireland markets. Together they plan to establish 3CX as a leading player in the VoIP market for SMEs, providing a solution which enables resellers to expand the services they offer their customers.
3CX is an open standard, fully featured IP PBX server built to SIP standards. A cost effective, easy to use alternative to traditional hardware PBXs, 3CX seamlessly integrates: existing PSTN lines using VOIP gateways, VOIP providers and SIP compliant handsets or softphones, providing a comprehensive PBX server without proprietary hardware or software restrictions. 3CX benefits include:
. Reduced call charges using VOIP providers (SipGate, Blueface etc.) . Web-based, easy to use administrative interface . Auto Attendant, Ring Groups, Call Queuing, and Voice Mail for flexible call routing . Hot Desk - move phones from one desk to another without re-wiring or re-configuring . Allows remote employees to pick up their extension from anywhere.
3CX differs from existing alternatives in its ease of use both in terms of initial installation, configuration and management. 3CX provides an ideal VoIP solution for organizations that want a flexible, full featured phone system and cheaper calls but do not want to spend a fortune on hardware or get tied into proprietary solutions that become exorbitant as the organization grows.
\"We believe in only distributing solutions that we use ourselves,\" said Ross McWilliam, Managing Director of Zen Software, \"3CX fulfilled our own telephony requirements perfectly, was easy to install and has been easy to manage as well as being completely reliable.\"
He continues, \"We're extremely excited to be distributing this product through our reseller channel. It offers resellers a whole new area of business that's traditionally been the preserve of specialist telephony suppliers and consultants. 3CX gives resellers an excellent opportunity to move into the VoIP market, offering telephony solutions to their customers which add real value. Resellers can also explore the possibility of reselling VoIP hardware and VoIP services to further enhance their revenue stream.\"
Nick Galea, CEO of 3CX states, "We are proud to partner with Zen Software - they are a knowledgeable and competent value-added software distributor with a proven track record. UK resellers now have the ability to deploy 3CX solutions knowing they are backed up with comprehensive tech support from both us and Zen. 3CX Phone System offers unrivalled value for money for SME clients - often paying off in just 12 months - while providing significant revenue opportunities."
