Your Telephone Bill!



 

The 3CX Phone System is a very powerful software-based office telephone system that can run on your existing Windows based computer or server!  That means that you can load software on your computer to create a complete telephone system for your business, replacing the traditional expensive PBX.

Installation of a 3CX server can  substantially reduce your long distance telephone bill by by-passing the local regulated monopoly telephone company and allowing you to make telephone calls directly over the Internet.  It is based on an industry "SIP" standard and supports and array of IP phones, including free "soft phones" that run on your desktop computer!

Easy to install and configure, 3CX includes a web-based configuration interface, voice mail, auto attendant, call hunting, conference bridge, call queue and other exciting features normally found on very expensive PBX systems. Both commercial and a free edition are available.  You can easily and inexpensively connect branch offices and home offices together with voice or even video telephones. Below are some of the millions of 3CX users today:

Customer Care

Simply stated, we provide technology and automation advise and services to help you make your company more productive and secure.  We do not sell hardware directly. This removes the motivation of profit from the selection process, and insures our advice is completely unbiased on all technology solutions. We can represent your company as a purchasing agent without any typical vendor conflicts.

We also look for ways for you to save on operational expenditures.  Typical return on investments are less than one year.  Whether it is productivity gains or service cost reductions, we can provide the leadership to enable you to reduce costs and add to your bottom line. 

Technology and innovation provide productivity and efficiency.  Our goal is to provide you with both.

Many companies are still using POTS services from the traditional telephone companies.  New Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone companies can provide service at a much lower cost.  We can review your telephone bill and provide an analysis of your costs and propose new options that could save you thousands of dollars a year.

Backups and Restores
are Very Important

Making the proper backups is very important, but one must insure that the backup can be restored to allow your business to quickly return to normal operations.  Testing the restoration of your data from existing backups is an important step in certifying that your recovery process is viable.
 

Have you ever taken a look inside your telephone wiring closet?  It probably looks like the photograph below on the left.  This is old fashioned "punch down" wiring.  Every time you need to make a change to a telephone extension,  you have to call the telephone company to move wires around to accommodate the move. 

With an IP phone system like 3CX, you no longer have to rely on someone else to make the change.  With 3CX, all changes are made by software.  No wiring changes are needed because extensions are controlled by the computer.  Changes can be implemented by your staff, saving you maintenance expenses and time.

Software Based PBX for Windows

Now you can move away from expensive proprietary phone systems and move up to an open standard Windows server based PBX system that increases productivity of each employee and cost much less. You can actually evolve your communications by enabling employs to be mobile.  Calls can be made and answered seamlessly from outside the office with IP phones, telephone software on your PC,  iPhone or Droid without being charged cell minutes.  Voice mail and faxes can be received via email. 

You can streamline your business by connecting branch offices or warehouses over the Internet at negligible cost. You can make phone calls over traditional telephone wires or switch a fractional T1 from carriers like Sprint* or WindStream* for substantial cost savings.  Or switch to a Internet based provider like Vontage* or CityVoice* and save even more.

This is one way to overcome the limitations of older hardware based PBX systems, reduce costs significantly and add advanced communications features that can make your company more efficient and competitive.
