3CX Version 5.0 – Sets the Standard for VOIP Phone Systems
3CX’s software-based phone system frees businesses from proprietary hardware with an easy to install, manage and use SIP-based IP PBX
December 17, 2007 – 3CX has announced the release of version 5 of 3CX Phone System for Windows; the highly anticipated version of this award-winning software-based VOIP PBX for Windows.
Nick Galea, CEO at 3CX said, “We are excited to deliver version 5 of 3CX Phone System at a time when the market is realizing that there is a more cost effective, flexible, feature rich alternative to their proprietary, hardware based PBX.”
Key advantages of adopting 3CX Phone System:
- Increases mobility – allows remote workers and tele-workers to seamlessly integrate to the company’s phone system
- Inexpensive Infrastructure: phones are connected to 3CX over the existing network, instead of requiring additional phone lines and jacks
- Eliminates expensive telephone tag using the inbuilt Presence feature
- Easier phone system administration via a web-based configuration
- Vendor independent – significant cost savings by choosing VOIP provider and SIP equipment of choice

It incorporates several exciting features that will satisfy remote workers, remote offices, IT staff, HR departments and general staff members. With version 5.0, 3CX is now not only the easiest to implement and use Windows based phone system, but it also boasts a feature set that rivals competitors’.”
