Benelux Partnership: 3CX and Portland

Zoetermeer and Nicosia, 15 October 2007 – Telephone communication happens smoothly, more efficiently and less expensively with 3CX Telephone System for Windows. 3CX Phone System replaces traditional proprietary telephone systems and implements a software-based PBX that supports the open SIP standard, PSTN phones lines and popular VOIP providers. Furthermore, purchase and maintenance of the system is less costly than a proprietary or Linux-based telephone system.

Step-by-step installation dialogs ensure quick installation and easy maintenance. The 3CX Telephone System elmininates telephone cabling because it uses the existing computer network.

3CX Telephone System main features:

  • Complete telephone system, including call transfer, inbound routing and call queues
  • Much less expensive then a proprietary or Linux-based PBX
  • Scalable to any number of extensions or lines – without the need for expensive system modules
  • Adds and Moves of extensions are much easier – no need for patching network points
  • Web-based configuration and status monitor
  • Receive voice mails by email (Unified Messaging)
  • Vendor independent – use popular SIP phones from different vendors

Kim van Brugge, director of Portland Europe said, “With the 3CX solution, we can offer our resellers access to the booming VOIP telephone system market. They can expand their portfolio for existing customers and gain new ones.
