an international

3CX is an open
standard, full-featured IP PBX server built to SIP standards. A cost
effective, easy to use alternative to traditional hardware PBX, 3CX
seamlessly
integrates: existing PSTN lines using VOIP gateways, VOIP providers
and SIP soft or
hard phones, providing a comprehensive PBX server without proprietary
hardware or
software restrictions. 3CX benefits include:
• Reduced call charges using VOIP providers (Vonage, Broadvoice, 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 rewiring or
reconfiguring
• Allow remote employees to pick up their extension from anywhere
“As a software publisher and distributor in the Internet communication
space for
over a decade, Voice Over IP is a market that we tabbed early on as
being the right
kind of exciting and value driven technology for our customers and
channel, and it’s
an area of increasing adoption,” said Mike Deerfield, Deerfield.com
CEO. “However,
until now, we haven’t found that perfect fit for us and our business
model. 3CX
Phone System brings an amazing value to the end user, while creating
an exciting
business opportunity for our channel partners”.
“Our initial interest in 3CX came when our eleven year old, outdated
proprietary
PSTN phone system needed an upgrade. After researching and testing
different VOIP
PBX servers, we found 3CX was the perfect combination of cutting edge
technology,
usability and value that we look for in products that we use and
represent.”
“One of the things that makes this product so incredibly compelling is
its cost of
ownership,” said Deerfield. “Comparing what we were paying for our old
proprietary
PBX server, system maintenance and long distance fees, we expect to
make up the
entire cost of implementation of 3CX and new IP phones within six
months. We love
the fact that it’s open SIP standards based and doesn’t tie us into
any one vendor
or technology, so it let us integrate our existing PSTN lines with new
SIP phones
and our VOIP provider, all through an easy to use web based interface
hosted on a
low cost Windows server!”
\"We are very pleased to have signed up Deerfield as a value added
distributor,” said
Nick Galea. “Deerfield Communications is well established, and known
for providing
excellent sales & technical support. It’s an honor to be able to work
with Deerfield
in building our partner channel in the US. \"
“3CX is the right combination of technology, value and timing. We’re
tremendously
excited to promote this new technology to our existing channel and new
channel
members, and we expect this to be a great opportunity for all
involved,” concluded
Deerfield.
