Sustainable considerations and decisions are essential for companies. Your telephone system should also accompany you reliably into the future and not reach its limits after just a few years. The standard functions for handling calls, holding telephone conferences and setting up a mailbox are simply no longer sufficient to establish or maintain professional business communication. The future belongs to a unified communications solution that offers reliable functions and easily adapts to company growth without driving up costs.
With 3CX, you are opting for a software-based IP telephone system. Thanks to its open structure (open platform), it is highly compatible with all IP telephones and VoIP providers. You can operate it either locally or in a cloud. The costs for acquisition and maintenance are significantly lower than those of traditional telephone systems or outdated systems.
Test 3CX with the PRO Edition for 40 days free of charge. After that, the IP telephone system is available for low annual flat rates. All the extensions you need are free of charge.
You decide on the type of installation of 3CX, your VoIP provider and your IP telephones. This offers great potential for cost savings.
Installation is possible within minutes, either in the cloud using the PBX Express tool or accompanied by a wizard for local installation. So take advantage of these benefits:
- simple handling thanks to plug-and-play for IP telephones, gateways & telephone connections (SIP trunks)
- All desired extensions included in the price
- own choice of SIP trunk provider
- PRO edition completely free for 40 days
It's up to you - either you host the 3CX telephone system locally or you use a cloud provider that you trust. Use a provider that provides standardized virtualized Linux servers (VPS) or a special 3CX hosting partner.
Our ITM employees will be happy to support you in selecting a suitable provider, or our IT system house will take care of hosting for you.
These are your options:
- Hosting through ITM
- Your own hosting in the cloud
- Quick installation of the 3CX instance with PBX Express
- Easy change of cloud provider thanks to integrated backup and restore function
Depending on your requirements, you can operate your 3CX telephone system on your own server (using Hyper-V, VMware or KVM). MiniPCs (e.g. from Intel NUC, Shuttle, Zotac Zbox or Gigabyte) are also suitable for smaller installations.
A backup and restore function is already integrated in the 3CX telephone system. You can therefore adapt the deployment if necessary, e.g. by moving to another server or to the cloud. This makes it possible to
- virtualization using VMware, Hyper-V or KVM
- low-cost deployment using Raspberry Pi or MiniPC
- A simple switch to a different type of deployment
