3CX 6.0 - Introduces 10 Major New Features
Call conferencing, Paging, Call Recording and Windows 2008 support among major features added to software-based 3CX Phone System for Windows.
June 24, 2008 - 3CX has announced the release of version 6.0 of 3CX Phone System for Windows. This version of the award-winning, software-based PBX ships with 10 key new enterprise-level features.
“We are very excited to launch this new version of 3CX Phone System for Windows”, said Nick Galea, CEO of 3CX. The 3CX development team has proved that we can turn around new versions and new features very quickly. What would take years on traditional PBXs takes only months on a software-based PBX like 3CX; simply because the structure is much more manageable. With our new Windows 2008 support, organizations can virtualize the PBX and run a phone system without the need for an appliance or an extra server. This means lower administration costs, no extra hardware and less energy consumption,” said Gallea.
“3CX has done an excellent job of considering feedback and feature requests we’ve gathered from North American Resellers and quickly and efficiently incorporating these requests into new releases,” said Mike Deerfield, CEO of Deerfield.com – the exclusive North American 3CX Distributors. “Being in the ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) business for over 12 years, it’s refreshing to work with a software developer that is eager for feature requests, sets deadlines for releases, then meets or exceeds them. Features in version 6 such as call conferencing, paging, intercom and call recording make 3CX an attractive and affordable option for businesses with demanding PBX requirements,” said Deerfield.
